THE THREE HOOTS
Classroom News
Dear Parents,
In two weeks we will begin some end of the year testing. Your child will be taking the spring NWEA in both math and reading. In addition, the M-Step will be given as well. The M-Step (Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress) is taken each spring in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. The test is designed to gauge how well students are mastering state standards. It is a great tool to aid teachers in their daily instruction. Our third graders are taking a portion of the test in May. As always, it is important that you make sure that your child gets to bed early and has a healthy breakfast.
Due to this upcoming testing we will have our last spelling test on May 5th. There will NOT be any regular homework assignments after that date. We will, however, continue to read through the month of May. That calendar will be due on June 2nd or before.
There will a field trip to Fort Michilimackinac coming up in June. This will be a wonderful culmination to our Michigan History unit. It is also a great location for us to enjoy a class picnic! There will be more information coming your way!
Thank you for your continued support,
The 3 Hoots
