Grade 7 Students in Mrs. Kimble's Science Class Exploring Experiments With Mealworms...
Dear CMS Families:
As we hit the mid-month of May, we are definitely moving forward on all cylinders. For a quick recap, we finished up our Math MCAS last week and now we are heading into our final stretch of state mandated tests: Science Technology & Engineering. This last round of testing will take place this week for grades 5 & 8. Since we have limited computers to work with, we decided to adjust our testing schedule just a little. Grade 5 will test on Monday & Tuesday and grade 8 on Wednesday & Thursday. By making this adjustment we don't have to move our computers back and forth and it just makes sense so the students can finish up.
Once again, I am very proud of our students for navigating through this process; it isn't always easy. Each day our students show me more and more that they can conqueror anything that comes their way - what a great lesson because life doesn't always give us what we want. Therefore working through requirements such as these state mandated tests is just a skill that pays dividends down the road; and, yes, we have amazing students!
Wishing everyone a great week. We are always here if you need us, so don't hesitate to reach out.
