- NWEA-- Fourth grade was to start NWEA computer testing this morning, but technology did not cooperate. NWEA ironed out the problems by late morning, but we missed our testing window. We will still be testing on Wednesday morning, but have not received the rescheduled testing date to make up for today. We will let you know when we hear something.
- SNACKS-- We are going to allow students to bring in INDIVIDUAL snacks if they choose. These need to be healthy and SUPER EASY snacks. Crackers, string cheese, bananas, apples, granola bars, etc. Nothing too messy, sugary, or requiring utensils, please. We will be eating these as we work in the morning, so if they choose to bring something please just follow the guidelines above. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you are wanting to donate snacks for your child and any that might not have their own, you are more than welcome to still do so.
- DATA BINDERS-- We set up data binders late last week and will start using those within the next week or two. Students should bring these home at least once a week and have an adult look through added tests, information, graphs, etc., and then sign the "parent signature page" at the front of the binder. This also provides a place for comments, if you wish to praise your child, set goals, or ask questions. You can also contact us directly if you have any questions. Some weeks several pieces will be added, other weeks maybe only one or two things. A weekly signature is required. In language arts, most data will come home on Mondays, but math will depend on the unit schedule since those vary in length and timing. When they take math unit assessments, those test will be added to the binder. Please let us know if the binder is not making it home to you at all.
We look forward to a wonderful year with a wonderful group of students! Thank you so much for sharing your kiddos with us. We appreciate you!
