Testing and Opportunities for Books

The students worked hard this past week on the language arts portion of the standardized testing.  This week they will be taking the Science NECAP test and the math portion of the standardized testing.  I have tried to help the students keep the testing in perspective and not get too stressed out by it, but it also helps if they are getting to bed on time and eating a healthy breakfast in the morning.  Thanks for your help with this!

I sent home the final book order for this year in the Friday Folder.  Orders are due by Thursday, so we will have plenty of time to receive the books before the end of the school year.

Also, don't forget about the Book Swap this week.  Here is the notice that was included in the Wildcat News:

The PTSF (Parents, Teachers, Students, Friends) organization is planning the 5th annual Book Swap for grades K-5.  Please donate your gently used children's books to this cause.  Classroom teachers and Ms. Symancyk are now accepting used books until May 19 for the Book Swap which will be held on May 21 and 22.  The books will be sorted and displayed for all the K-5 students to choose a book (or maybe 2) for their very own.  Book Swap books are priceless in more ways than one.  Thank you for putting more books into the hands of students!
