Busy, Busy Bees in Room 124!

We have so much to do before school is out! Please remember to check your child's binder daily, and to stay updated with homework etc.  If for some reason your child has forgotten their homework assignment, you may always refer to the schoolnotes page.  It will also have the spelling words for the week if you need them. 

ARMT testing for the upper grades will begin this Wednesday.  Please keep that in mind.  Your child needs to be on time in the mornings so the testing schedule isn't slowed down for 3rd -5th grade.  We want everything to go smoothly for them.  They can't begin testing until the building is quiet and everybody is in their classrooms. 

VERY IMPORTANT: The lunchroom is not taking checks for the rest of the school year.  If your child needs money in their lunch account, they must bring cash.  Please put it in an envelope or bag with your child's name on it and their lunch number.  I want to make sure the money all goes to the right place. 

STAR reports came home Friday in your child's binder.  You may keep these.

This Monday I am going to send home your child's last timed Math Drill.  It was going to count as a grade, but I am leaving it out because we have more than enough Math grades.  I did want to make sure that you saw how your child did.  They were timed for 5 minutes.  I am attaching a letter for you to sign.  Please return the letter, but not the math drill.  I can't stress enough the importance of your child practicing these math facts.

Have a SUPER week!
