Unity Day

Today was Unity Day. It was one of the most phenomenal days of my teaching career. I am so blessed to work in a place where students are celebrated, where the community comes together as a whole, where the pride runneth over. Today was a day of celebration for a place where kids know and understand that bullying is not okay, where they stand up for one another, where they know to tell the teacher, where bulling actions are simply not accepted. Thank you to my students who try every day to model a bully free zone.

Here are a few pictures and even a video from today's assembly.

VINS Field Trip

 Thank you to all the parents who joined us today at VINS. The students had a great day learning about the adaptations of different animals and checking out the unique raptors. I am sure that they are tired out tonight after such a busy day. 

NECAP Testing

NECAPs!

Well today is the day! It is the day that we've all been waiting for. It is the day that students and teachers both anticipate with bated breath.The students have been really great practicing and getting ready. We've been reviewing third grade material, practicing responses to text, going over test taking skills. They are ready! I encourage you to talk to your child about how the test went today. Allow them a few extra minutes to play outside and run around as well. Three hours of testing takes a toll on them.  We will be testing again next Monday and Wednesday. Due to these days of testing, homework will be limited next week. Please make sure your child goes to bed early the night before and eats breakfast that morning. Thank you for all of your constant support.
