Important Announcements:
*Congratulations to Anah,
Qwentin, Joey, and Ayden for leveling up this week. Wow! I
am so proud of how hard these students are working to show behavioral and
academic growth. Way to go, Anah,
Qwentin, Joey, and Ayden!
*We are having a school-wide
book fair next week. If you would like
to have your child shop for books, he/she will need to bring money to school on
Tuesday, April 21st. Your child will be given the opportunity to
shop during our library specials time. This
is the ONLY time your child will be allowed to shop so please make sure money
is sent in on Tuesday. Thanks!
*The last day for our class
reading competition will be Friday, May 1st. I will pull points reports over that weekend
and announce the students that qualify for the pizza party with me. Today was the last day that we are able to
get in computer lab for several weeks so all Reading Counts quizzes will need
to be done in the classroom during stations time. I have several kids who are very close to
qualifying, and I would love to see as many students as possible have a pizza
party with me!
*Next week our spelling list
is abbreviations. Your child will have
to capitalize and type the “.” after the abbreviation to get full credit on
his/her spelling test. This may be a
good test to practice at home using the website: www.spellingcity.com/awhisman.
*Grades 3 – 5 will begin the
next round of ISTEP+ testing starting April 27th. Next week will be a practice session for
testing. This round is all on computers
so computer lab will be unavailable until the testing is completed. We will still take our reading and spelling
tests on the computer, we will just complete them in the classroom on
Fridays.
*Permission slips for our
field trip to the zoo were sent home last Friday. Please turn in your permission slip and
payment at the same time. If you are
interested in chaperoning for the field trip, you need to make sure that you
have a criminal background check on file.
If you need to do one, you may go to our website: www.brownsburg.k12.in.us. Click on the
“About Us” tab. Go down to “Volunteer
Connection.” In the bottom paragraph
click on the “Click Here” and it takes you to the form. Permission slips and payment are due no later
than Friday, April 24th.
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org.
*If anyone is able to come in
next week to volunteer, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*I believe in building relationships with the children both
inside my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
