Much of our focus this week has been on taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. Most students are doing a great job working carefully and doing their best on the tests. Third graders are getting the "hang" of taking the tests, and some have commented that the tests are not as difficult as they thought ITBS would be! Thanks so much to third grade families who have provided our snacks/brain food each day. Students really look forward to the extra fuel during testing.
We'll be back next week with updates for each subject - enjoy the long weekend with your child. Please remember that we're still testing next week, so a good night's rest and a healthy breakfast are needed.
Reminders:
• The first round of P/T conferences is on Wednesday, /November 10 - we look forward to meeting with you!
• On Friday, November 12, we will celebrate the completion of ITBS! Students can bring a snack (for themselves or to share) and a drink to enjoy as we watch The BFG on Friday afternoon.
• We've added reading homework folders for third graders (Red or Purple, depending on if your child is in Mrs. B or Mrs. H.'s reading group) - please help your student record his/her reading each night, and return the folder the next school day.
