Week of 2/15

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a nice long weekend! This week we will continue preparing to take the Terra Nova test which will be taken the week of 2/28.  A schedule of the test will be sent home next week along with some test taking tips. If you have any questions please let me know. Here are the reminders for the week:

- Thanks for everyone who came to Grandparents/Special Friends Day! It was wonderful meeting everyone. Be sure to check out some pictures below :)

- Wednesday afternoon we will go to the 8th Grade Business Day. If you would like to send in money for your child to shop, please place it in a labeled envelope. ($10 is usually more than enough). If your child has an allergy and you do not wish for them to purchase food please let me know and I will help them find something else to buy.

- We will have a math test on Place Value on Thursday. A review will be sent home tomorrow.

- Friday we will have a reading and spelling test on the story "The Big Race."

- Monday 2/22 will be a Dress Down Day. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.


That is it for now! Have a great week!
