What a week! The kiddos are excited to get moved over to Room 20 and be with all their classmates. Of course, we are preparing for some growing pains and will be doing a lot of community building over the next few weeks. So just a lot of patience and support as we move forward. 💗 We are also getting one new student (there is a welcome post on Seesaw)! Please be sure to read the blog post about hybrid, if you haven't already. 👍
I sent a message on Remind, but please check your child's agenda for a checklist of supplies they need to restock. In general, our class is in need of pencils, glue sticks, and tissue boxes (especially with allergy season starting). If you would like to donate those items to our class, we would greatly appreciate it!
Of course, we are going 4-days just in time for end of the year testing to begin. We will be taking the MAP assessments (reading and math) the week of April 26th and will start PALS and DRA testing around then as well. This time around, all testing will be done at school so all I need from you is to make sure that your kiddo is coming to school with a good breakfast in their tummy and good night's sleep. 😉 If you want more information about these assessments, please view this blog post.
