Upcoming Week:
MyOn Assignments!-Please remember that MyOn assignments for all levels are due by Sunday night. We have the cart of mobile computers Monday at 10:05am. 3rd graders will do some SAGE language test prep and first graders will work on reading some MyOn assigned books and do some in class writing. 2nd graders will follow regular work cycle.
Science Fair!– Science fair projects are due Thursday! You are welcome to come see our student’s projects. I’ve scheduled a sign up for classes in our school to come and review the student’s projects from 1:00-2:40pm. I’m excited to see what all the experiments turn out to be! Please see last week’s post to review the judging sheet that I and Ms. Emilee are going to use!
Parent Volunteers!–3rd Grade Breakfast for Lunch for Language Test Day! A tradition I have established for all my 3rd graders is a breakfast on each test day. Since this year’s test begins at 12:00pm, we could BRUNCH! My tradition is scrambled eggs for the first test. If any of you would like to come in on March 31st at 10:30am, our kids will eat their brunch at 11:00am and then go outside until 11:55am to be ready for testing at 12:00pm. Email me if interested!
Studio ends on the 25th of March. This is because testing is beginning. After the 25th of March, all Lower El students will stay in their classrooms on Fridays. My 3rd grade theater plays will be scheduled in April. I’m trying to work around testing schedules and PE classes.
Have a great weekend and hope to see some of you tonight at the Gala!
Cheers!
