Dear Parents:
As you know, we began our
SOL testing on Monday. The
children came into classroom ready to go on Monday morning. While there was a bit of uncertainty
prior to the test, however, when we finished all concerns were gone and many
wondered why they had been nervous to begin with. As the children approached the Social Studies test on
Thursday, they were much more relaxed.
I was quite please with the time the children took to answer the
questions, and the time they took to review their answers before their final
submission. Next week we will be
testing Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings. Just a reminder to have your child get a good night sleep
prior to each of these testing days, as well as a good breakfast the morning of
the tests.
With the celebration of Memorial Day this weekend, I would like to
once again ask that you have a discussion with your child about the need to
finish the year strong. This means
getting homework done and handed in on time, as well as remembering both the
school and class rules on a daily basis.
I am excited for these final weeks of school. Let’s make them count.
I
hope everyone has a nice weekend.
