In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, and Read Across America Day, HES has several special events planned for this coming week. First, the whole school, staff included, will have some DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time each day. The students will not know when the announcement to "drop everything and read" will be made, so they will have to have a book with them at all times. In addition, there will be a school-wide reading incentive, asking students to keep track of the minutes they read each day (at school and at home). Finally, a special guest reader will be visiting our classroom on Thursday morning after the assembly.
Speaking of the assembly, two fourth grade students, Gracie Fortier and Judson Dunne, will be performing at this week's assembly, so if you get a chance, come check it out!
At the beginning of the week students will partake in another round of Track My Progress testing. This online testing program, which students complete four times a year, helps us chart the progress they are making in reading and math. The fourth graders will take the math portion of the test on Monday and the reading portion on Tuesday.
We will end our week with another Four Winds lesson on Friday afternoon. All in all, it should be a busy week!
