IOWA Prep
We will start reviewing material as well test taking skills for the IOWA test coming up in March. Some of our little ones are still having trouble with test taking procedures. We will continue to practice this in the classroom and I encourage you to talk to your child about being quiet and considerate of others who are still testing. Be sure your child is getting plenty of rest and that they are eating a healthy breakfast.
Field Trip in April: "Our Earth, according to The Lorax"
Date and time pending confirmed reservation at time of full payment. Please be looking for the permission slip to come home on Wednesday. Sign and send a check for $5 made out to GES with "Lorax Field Trip" in the memo line if you want your child to attend this field trip. A sack lunch will be needed on this day. We will have lunch in the park and the children will have time to play before returning to school.
