CogAT concludes tomorrow, Sept. 8th and we will begin IOWA testing next week.
Monday: Reading Tuesday: Language Arts Wednesday: Math Thursday: Science / Social Studies Please continue to encourage your children to listen carefully to directions and put forth their best effort and stamina. Thank you for sending in the fun snacks and prizes to give the children something to look forward to following each testing day. Our Earth Parents came for our first vermiculture lesson today (www.wormpoop.com/composting/composting.htm) and we are now proud caretakers of our own red worm habitat. Ask your child for updates on the food, water, and ph data we will be collecting weekly. National Anthem Day – Thursday, September 14 Please encourage your child to wear red, white & blue to school on Thursday, September 14 as we celebrate the 203rd anniversary of the penning of our National Anthem: The Star Spangled Banner. We will be discussing the anthem in music class and trying to memorize the words to prepare for the big day.
