Just Breathe!

MAP Testing started this week. The kids are doing a great job. They are focused and doing their best work. My advice is to remind your child that this is only one data point. Many students get stressed out about the test. We let them know that they are doing great because they are dong the best they can!

Many acts of kindness and care are witnessed daily. Encourage your child to continue to use kindness as a guide in making choices.

This week in academics:

Writing: Focus continues on Narrative stories. We will begin a final draft on the computer after MAP is finished.

Math: Chapter One is coming to a close.  They will have one more check point before we move on to Chapter 2.

Reading: Students have read many small pieces about Hispanic Americans. This will continue along with Achieve.

Religion: Students have begun learning the Hail Mary in Spanish for Senora Blanca. Volunteers lead us in class. Remind your child to do kind acts during the week!

Social Studies: We have our Washington Stamp Posters on display. We will delve further in to the Washington Adventure book.
