We have had a busy couple of weeks but the good news is that MAP testing is OVER!!! The kids did such a good job of using their strategies and showing their work! I am sooooo proud of each one of them! They did everything that we have been practicing all year! Their hard-work has paid off! Thank you for helping your kiddo with his/her science fair project! They are going really well! The kids are so engaged in their experiments and excited to get started on their boards. Remember that we have already purchased boards for each student so you do not need to worry about that! Boards will be sent home next Friday, as long as the students have kept up with the due dates of each step. Keep track of due dates with the calendar in the front of the Science Fair booklet. If you have any questions, you can always call or email me. There are no Friday forms to sign this week because we spent so much of our class time taking the MAP test. However, next week we will be back in our routine of homework every night and Friday forms! Please get the Camp Lindbergh permission slip signed and returned with the money as soon as you can. Also, yearbooks are still available for sale. They are $8 and you can send that money any time. There is another reminder about the carnival in the folder too. If you are a PTA member, wristbands are $5. If you are not, wristbands are $7. These are the pre-sale costs. If you wait to buy your wristband at the carnival then PTA members can get one for $7, and non PTA members can get one for $8. There are several events going on in the next 18 days--yes, 18 days! Can you believe it? On the left is a list of events to get on the calendar so you don’t miss anything! Thank you for all that you do! Enjoy your weekend!

Here's what we've been up to...
