Week of 4/28

Post date: Apr 30, 2014 8:47:22 PM

By the end of the week it will be May. Hooray! Now if the rain would clear up, we would really have something to celebrate.

MAP Testing for 2nd grade should wrap up by the end of the week. I know that there are families that are interested in seeing the results of those. I don't know when exactly they will be mailed to you. That comes from the district office not Olson. They arrived last year before the last day of school, if you want to use that as a guide.

The children have been hard at work writing a Persuasive Letter in writing class. Some of them will be persuading you for something; some have their sights set on making a change here at Olson or even in the world. The due date for the Rough Draft is May 23 - the day before the long Memorial Weekend. The Final Draft will be done before the end of the year.

We are starting to work more and more in Unit 11 with multiplication and division. Drawing a picture or an array is very helpful for new learners in these two operations. The only problem is if they don't construct those pictures very carefully.

Have a great week!
