Learning About Butterflies
From there, they entered the butterfly house and witnessed newly emerging butterflies take flight for the first time. Students were able to dip their fingers into nectar bowls to feed butterflies and engaged in observing and enjoying nature all around them. It was a perfect way to put our classroom learning into action.

NWEA Assessment Begins May 3
Students will be given a variety of end of year assessments in May. While a variety of assessments are scattered throughout the month, specifically, NWEA Math MAP will be given on Tuesday, May 3rd and Thursday, May 5th. This is for students in kindergarten and 1st grade only, so if your student is in Developmental Kindergarten (DK), NWEA Assessments do not apply.
"MAP Growth is the most trusted and innovative assessment for measuring achievement and growth in K–12 math, reading, language usage, and science. It provides teachers with accurate, and actionable evidence to help target instruction for each student or groups of students regardless of how far above or below they are from their grade level. It also connects to the largest set of instructional content providers, giving educators flexibility in curriculum choices." (https://www.nwea.org/map-growth/)
Attendance, a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast are important for success. Children might be nervous about assessments, so we try to encourage them to have a growth mindset and to just do their best. Assessments results will be shared with report cards on the last day of school.
Summer School Enrichment
The Summer School Enrichment program will begin on June 14 through August 11. The program runs a total of five weeks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 am until 12 noon.
To reserve your position, please send your child’s name and school building to: Jim Polasek at polasejr@haslett.k12.mi.us no later than Friday, April 29, 2022.
