November Updates

I hope everyone was able to rest up over the long weekend, and are feeling rested and healthy.

We will be resuming the WKCE state testing this week. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday the students will be taking the Language Arts and Reading portions of the tests. Next Thursday (12) and Friday (13) they will be taking the Math tests. Remind your child to get a good night's sleep, and to eat a good breakfast.

On Tuesday, November 10, we are fortunate to be able to go the the high school to see their production of "The Sound of Music". It is so much fun for the kids to experience this event. They may see a brother or sister, neighbor or cousin, or even know someone in the production. It's a big deal for them to go to the "big school". It'll be a fun morning.

All students who met their reading minutes and completed their genre sheet for the month of October will be able to celebrate with Mrs. Sullivan's classroom this Friday afternoon. They may bring a snack and a drink (yes, they may bring a caffeine free soda if they wish) to enjoy while they relax and watch a movie.

The November genre is to read a non-fiction book. A few students have completed it already. Way to go! Their genre sheet is due on November 11.

We had two students pass out of the multiplication time test in less than 4 minutes. Congratulations to Brianne & Logan! Keep practicing. The kids will start bringing home little sheets to do quick practice at home. They are to time themselves to help gain speed, but should correct or fill in any facts that they left blank. Thanks for your help with this.

REMINDER: November 18 Early Dismissal
November 26 & 27 NO SCHOOL--Thanksgiving Break

Our Fall Celebration was wonderful. Thank you to everyone who was able to contribute items for this. We had lots of good things to eat and drink. We appreciated it!
