Happy warm Monday!
Lots going on this week.
Tuesday 1:20 - 1:40 is our book fair slot. Kids that have money can shop... kids without money can still shop and look at the available items.
Tuesday 6:30 - 8:00 Literacy night at Sunset Lake Elementary! Come and join us for the book fair, reading and A.R. testing and other book related activities!
M-STEP testing. The M-Step has replaced the M.E.A.P. And if your kiddos thought that the meap stood for Mean Evil Annoying Paper, I can't imagine what they're going to call the M-Step because this test is SO difficult! Unlike the MEAP that we weren't allowed to look at, The M-Step has lessons that we are required to teach specifically for the test. The kids then have to use the information we give them, (no prior knowledge allowed) to complete the tasks on the test. The amount of information they are expecting these kids to reference, pull items from etc. is enough to make MY head spin so I'm seriously worried about their mental health during this testing period.
Testing starts the Tuesday we come back from spring break. The kids will have one test a week for the next three weeks. Writing, Math and Social Studies. Due to the fact that a lesson has to be taught prior to them testing PLEASE make sure they don't have any dentist , doctor or other appts. from 9 - 12:30 for those three weeks. We really need them here!
Please also make sure that during this time they are well rested and that they are having some sort of breakfast in the morning.
