Newsletter, February 22nd

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Each year, I leave Wax Museum night in a state of both exhaustion and euphoria. It always amazes me what the students are able to do. I hope each student was proud of his or her hard work because I sure was proud of them.

After Spring Break, we will begin CMAS testing. Students in fifth grade take ELA (Reading and Writing), Science, and Math. Students will be taking ...

the ELA test - Tues., April 2nd - Thurs., April 4th,
the Science test - Tues., April 9th & Wed., April 10th, and
the Math test - Tues., April 16th - Thurs., April 17th.

We test in the mornings from 10:15 to 12:40. If at all possible, please avoid appoints on these days which might require your child to be absent. It is also important that students not leave during the test, as students must finish the test the day they start. Unfortunately, this is a lot of testing that we as teachers are required to administer. As a team, we do our best to keep as much instruction time intact without overwhelming the students.

You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Mia’s “Who Knew” and some from Wax Museum at our classroom blog http://khalesclass.blogspot.com/.
