Important Announcements:

*Attention Parent Volunteers-
 Track and Field is approaching quickly.  I am in need of around 30 volunteers still.  If you can please help on Fri. May 24th, my students and I would greatly appreciate it.  Please email me (shopkins@brownsburg.k12.in.us) or call me at 852-1062 ext. 1319 to tell me what time slot you could help us out (AM- 9:00-12:00, PM 12:30-3:30, or all day).  Thanks in advance for making this day full of memories.

*Unit 10 math test will take place on Tuesday, April 23rd.  We will review for the test on Monday. 

*We are scheduled to take the next SRI on Wednesday, April 24th at 9:00 a.m.  I am excited to see updated SRI lexile scores! 

*Our Spring Party will take place on Friday, April 26th.  We are really looking forward to celebrating Spring! 

*I will soon be starting our new reading incentive program which will track the number of words read using reading counts quizzes.  I am still in the brainstorming process so I will share more details as I develop the incentive.  In the meantime, I am encouraging the children to continue to read and take as many reading counts quizzes as possible.
