Dear Parents,
We have officially made it to our first AR point deadline, which was on Tuesday. Thank you to those parents who monitored your child's consistent reading from home. A new 4 point assignment has been given. The new deadline is on November 4th. The students need to continue reading and testing on books within their reading range. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Just to give you a heads-up, tomorrow Mrs. Fishman's class has an end of Module 1 math test. Please have them review the study guide that came home today. My math group will have their end of Module 1 test on Wednesday of next week.
Also in regard to tests, I will be sending home a study guide tomorrow for the students' upcoming health test. The students will NOT be using the book for the test, so please take advantage of the study guide as much as possible. The test is scheduled for Friday, October 17th and it will be focused on 3 lessons from one of the chapters in the health book. I will be sending the health book home each day with the students through the 16th. Please make sure the book comes back to school each day so we can continue to use it in class as well.
As always, let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the weekend!
Mrs. McLoud
