Week of May 22nd
State Testing This Week! Everyone will do great!!
- Thank you to everyone who signed up to bring snacks for testing week! Please send them in on the day of if you haven't sent them in already.
- FIDGET SPINNERS: I will allow students to bring in their fidget spinners to use during testing. However, students know the rules of fidget spinners and how they are supposed to be used. For short amount of time (1-2 minutes) and under their desk where nobody else can see it. They can use these for short brain breaks while they are testing but should not distract any other student. If your child does not have one, I have play dough or a stress ball they can use for a break if they need it.
- I want students to be as successful as possible and part of that includes knowing when your brain needs a break.
