Sixth Grade Scoop
at Hampton Elementary School
More testing?! Why?
....Yes...more testing! This week, elementary students took their last round of major testing for the year. Although it may seem a little much, in my opinion, it is a good thing. By taking several different tests throughout the course of a year, we are able to get a better view of your child's strengths, weaknesses, and growth. I like to make this analogy: I would rather have my doctor take several tests to make sure I'm healthy instead of giving just one and hoping that really shows everything that might be going on. 6th grade did a great job! The majority met their personal goals and made HUGE growth in Reading and Math. They have been so dedicated and deserve that extra hug or surprise ice-cream trip! Thank THEM for working so hard!

Student Spotlight - What is the best thing about your Mom?
Rorie
The best thing about my mom is when I'm down she puts a smile on my face. Another thing is that she does fun activities with me. For example, when I'm just sitting at home she asks me if i want to go for a drive around town or even go shopping. There are so many things that I love about herI couldn't just pick one.
Kellen
The best thing about my mom is that she always helps me with my homework.
Kelsey
Something I love about my mom is that she is so caring and loving. She is always there for me when I need help. She is kind and helpful, and she always knows how to make me smile. She has entered me in a new world, and I will always be so thankful.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! We LOVE our moms!

Parent Tip of the Week
Above is another great article about being involved in your child's "tech world". I know as our 6th grade kiddos get older they tend to push parents away or not include them in what they are doing online. Even as they grow, STAY INVOLVED! One way you can do it to try and check your child's student website often, they are putting some amazing things on there! I know they love it when you "TAG" them! :)
