Work Hard, Play Hard!
This week had some pretty hard concepts and tests, but these kiddos powered through. It is really awesome seeing their testing stamina build, and assessments that used to cause mental barriers are now becoming almost no biggie! Of course, the majority of students are not crazy about tests, but their attitudes towards them have changed which is great moving forward into this testing season! We did get to have extra recesses and play games, but I always tell them-- we have to work hard so that we can play hard!

Staying Healthy
Reminder: your student needs to be fever free and not have anything coming out either end for 24 hours if you are going to send them to school.
I hope you and your families are able to stay healthy and well!
Birthdays!
If you bring in any goodies, they have to be store bought.
You have to have enough for the whole class (we have 21 students).
If you bring in birthday party invitations, you have to bring in enough for each student. Otherwise, you will find another way to invite friends!
