North Dakota State Testing

Please remember that we are beginning our ND State Testing this week. We will have 5 different reading and language arts tests and 3 math tests. So far this morning the testing is going well! They are working hard and taking their time. We've almost finished 2 parts of our reading and language arts. We broke up our morning with a long break of free time and snack. 

Please remember to send 2 snacks each day. We need some extra energy to get us through these few days. We will still have a spelling test this week, just so we don't get off track too much for our school year. We will also have a short science test this week. Your child will come home with a ziploc bag of science cards to study. We may have a few short math lessons for homework as well, but I am planning on keeping the week pretty light for at home work. 

Don't forget that we have Harvest Hoe Down this Thursday in the school gym. Costumes are allowed, but please make sure they are appropriate and not too scary. It is a family event, so young children will be there, too. 

We are still taking donations for our Fall Fun(d) Fest basket. We have Candyland, Sequence for Kids, Farkle, a puzzle, hair beading set, jewelry making set, and Dominoes. We are looking for some other games, snacks or drinks to add to the collection. You can send items in until the end of this week. If you'd like to send a cash donation, feel free to do so by the end of the week as well. I will go shopping with that money this weekend. Thanks to all who have donated already! 

If you have any questions about what's going on in the classroom, please let me know. Have a great week.
