Thank you to all the parents who contributed to Teacher Appreciation Week. I was so blessed all week by all the gifts that were sent. Thank you again.

Week of April 12, 2010

We have had a very busy week. Aims preparations have been a success.

We will be testing for AIMS all week. Please make sure your child is present and on time every day. You should also make sure your child gets plenty of sleep. If you send snacks, make sure they are healthy.

We will not have a regular schedule. Therefore, there will not be homework or a spelling list for this week due to AIMS. You might see a study packet for math, but not homework.

I am looking forward to great scores for AIMS. Your children have worked very hard. I can't wait for them to show their knowledge in these assessments. Thank you parents, for all of your support in assisting you children in our preparations for these tests.

Week of April 5, 2010

Happy Easter! Enjoy the 3 day weekend.

Don't forget the $7.00 due on Monday for our in-house field trip. This is a surprise for moms.

This is our last week before AIMS! We will be doing a lot of reviewing to prepare for AIMS so our week will not be normal when it comes to homework assignments. Please look for Math sheets or packets. Please try to help your child with some of the work they are bringing home. It is also very important that every student be present and on time during our testing week. Our testing will be on a strict schedule and we will begin on time. Make sure your child gets lots of rest and pack healthy snacks for them.

Friday, April 9, 2010 is a half day.
