Thursday, April 23

Students have been working very hard ALL DAY LONG.  I am very proud of them.  Most have finished their 5th grade writing sample and several have finished their Week 33 assessment.  Anyone who has not, will have time to work on it tomorrow.

Tomorrow we will also try to get caught up with Wander Indiana Research.  We are behind.  The Visual Plan that was originally due tomorrow will not be due until next week, and the students will have time to complete it in class.  The big message is - NO WORRIES.  At this point everyone seems to be doing a great job and we will all get caught up. Remember - Projects are not due until May 18th.


Next week we will continue working on our research during class in between ISTEP test sessions. We do have a full week of testing that will run into the following week, so it is important students are at school every day. We also want to make sure they have plenty of brain food to help them through each day.  If you are able, we could use the following donations of the ISTEP snacks:

Star Mints

Lucky Charms

Chex Mix

Gold Fish

Fruit Roll ups

Rice Krispy Treats

Cookies

Popcorn

Waters

Snack size baggies

Each snack with be paired with a motivational, encouraging message for the students. I already have Monday's snack ready to go, so if you are able to pick something up while you are out this weekend and send it in Monday - any donations will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for all you do!
