THE THREE HOOTS
Classroom News
Families,
Next week we will begin the M-Step. 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 next Tuesday and Wednesday. As always, it is important that you make sure that your child gets to bed early and has a healthy breakfast.
Homework was handed out on Friday. In addition to spelling and math, we are asking you and your child to take 5 minutes to go over their Rocket Math each day. This practice sheet is brought home each day and should be in your child's homework folder. Reading calendars will be due on or before May 2.
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
