Apr 11 to 15

The students have a day off from school as we teachers go to a morning of training on various types of technology and then an afternoon meeting to continue learning better ways to help kiddos learn.  Then we'll resume school on Tuesday and kick off our first Smarter Balanced testing week.  Each morning, the third graders will be completing different modules on Language Arts and Math.  In the afternoons, they will be continuing to build their understanding of fractions with many hands-on and interactive activities.

How can you help your child this week during testing?

1. Make sure that they eat nutritious meals.

2. Ensure that they get 10-11 hours of sleep each night.

3. Listen as they talk about the tests.

4. Send them to school with some engaging books that they can read after they finish their tests.

5. Write them an encouraging note on the yellow paper I sent home on Friday and send it back to school in the envelope.

We will not have any spelling words this week due to the testing.

Thank you!
Miss Kimpton
