Dear Parents:
I would like to thank
everyone for all the lovely treats I received last week. The cards and letters were so sweet,
and the flowers were beautiful. I
am so fortunate to teach such a caring group of children.
This week have been
spent reviewing various concepts in Math, Economics in Social Studies,
reviewing vocabulary in Science, and writing poetry in Language Arts. In addition we have spent time using
the computers to practice SOL tests.
As you may have head from your child, we will be testing in our
classrooms for all of the tests. We
will begin testing at 9:15 am each testing day. Please make sure your child is at school on time on these
days. We cannot allow a late child
to enter the testing room once a test has started. I can assure you that the kids are all ready to begin these
assessments next week. I have been
asked what can be done this weekend to make sure the kids are ready for
Monday. Please make sure
your child stays on as regular a schedule as possible. This includes getting plenty of
exercise, sleep and a good breakfast each morning. As I noted above, I am confident that all the kids are
prepared and will do their best.
While the homework will be light next week please know that we are
not done and students will be learning and working hard through the very last
day of school. I appreciate your
continued support and reinforcement in encouraging them to keep up with their
homework and school duties.
Certainly, there will be lots of fun coming up in the next month but we
must not lose sight of our day-to-day responsibilities. I am proud of them all and I have
no doubt that we will end this year with enormous success!
I
hope everyone has a nice weekend.
