Goodbye Sandy - We're Back!

After a couple extra days off, students should be well rested and ready to dominate some 9-weeks tests. Listed below is the schedule of tests...

Wednesday - Science

Thursday - Math and Writing

Friday - Reading

Monday - History

Each night, please help your child be prepared for these assessments.  An evening and morning review work wonders.  A good night sleep and big breakfast is magical.  Words of success to your child at night and before they go to school is powerful!  These tests are important towards your child's final grade in each subject and a way to show what they know.

This week's challenge is BRAIN BLAST.  For each 9-weeks test your child takes will be worth points towards your child's Skirmish of the Island group.  

100% = 25 points

A= 15 points

B= 10 points

C = 5 points

D and F = 0 points

Your child will be participating in an historic "mock" election vote Friday.  If students "vote" every four years as part of their education, they'll be more likely to vote as adults.  In 2008, more than 6 million students participated and the next president was correctly predicted.  Students will be given an "I VOTED" sticker to wear proudly, after they have casted their vote.  By Monday, results will be in to see who the nationwide mock election winner is!

Friday, students will be dismissing 90-minutes early.  All AR goals are to be met by the end of the day Friday.  Due to missing the first part of the week and the madness of testing this week, there will be no Friday Frenzy (FAMzy) this week.  There will be Friday FAMzy next Friday, November 9th!
