The Latest Scoop
News from Room C114 -April 12
Tisch's Tidbits
It was so wonderful to see everyone this week! I swear they have all grown within the last two weeks. It's crazy to think we only have 32 (not that anyone is counting) days of school left, but my planner is already filling up!
Easter Egg Hunt
When: This Saturday! April 15
Time: 9:00 a.m. sharp-If you're late, the eggs will most likely be gone.
Where: Union Playground
Cost: Free!
Tuck Everlasting Permission Slip
We have just finished reading an incredible novel. Tuck Everlasting has to be a favorite thus far this year. We would love to watch the movie to compare and contrast it to the book, so please be on the lookout for a permission slip. I feel it will have some great educational value as the students will be looking for comparison of themes, symbolism, comparison, and character traits.
Famous Hoosiers
Famous Hoosier sources were due on Monday. I am currently going through the sources with each child looking for parent signatures and making sure the sources contain the information needed to complete the project. If you happen to see a note that more sources are needed, it is most likely due to there not being enough information. We will be working on note taking and will begin our writing at school this week. Continue to look for a costume for the wax museum and keep your calendar open for Friday, May 12!
ISTEP and NWEA
Part 2 of ISTEP is around the corner. This portion will be completed on the computer. Please note that we will begin Monday, April 24 and will finish Wednesday, May 3. All of our testing will be in the morning. If at all possible, please try to avoid appointments during these times.
We will have a little bit of a breather and will then have NWEA. The dates for this assessment are May 10-12 in the morning.
I am SO proud of the progress each of these kiddos have been making and have no doubt that they show this on both ISTEP and NWEA.
State House Field Trip
We will have a field trip to the State House on Wednesday, May 24. We will board the bus at 11:15 and will return around 2:00. Our class is allowed two parents to attend with our class. If you are interested, please send me an email letting me know. If more than two parents would like to come, I'll draw names from a hat and will share the lucky winners by next Wednesday!
