Middle School Bound!
It won't be long until we head to the middle school for one final field trip. During this visit, the students will have an opportunity to practice opening a locker. I share this with you because one of the biggest causes of stress is the dreaded lock. What is my combination? Which way do I turn the dial? What was the combination again? It is not uncommon for there to be tears when trying to access the lockers. One of the things you can do at home to help prepare your kiddo is to buy two dial locks, lock them together and then have a lock off with your child. Whoever unlocks their lock first wins! This is a fun way to practice so when school hits and the minutes are ticking for the bell, unlocking the locker will be a breeze.
ZMS Field Trip
Our final field trip to ZMS will take place Thursday, May 11. The permission slip will be coming home on a bright yellow sheet of paper. This will be due May 4.
Talent Show
Applications are out for the 4th grade talent show! What a fun way to end the year whether you are showing off a talent or supporting classmates. Applications are due this Friday, and auditions will take place after school on May 4. Dress rehearsal will be May 22 with the show taking place on May 24 at 6 and during school on May 26.

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.
