Across the Lines by Carolyn Reeder

Next week we will officially begin reading Across the Lines by Carolyn Reeder. This was on the supply list at the beginning of the year. Please send in a copy for your child by Friday, May 6, if you have not already done so.

TCAP Week

Next week after TCAP we will be doing some activities as a grade level.


Monday & Tuesday: Measurement Olympics


Wednesday: Bring a favorite board game (that you don't mind kids in our class sharing) to play!


Thursday: Kickball


Friday: Watching Ramona & Beezus




Reminder:
Mental health is an important part of these tests, and if some of their needs are not met, they will not perform to the best of their ability. Please make sure your child is well rested and well fed before testing. However, if your child is not used to a huge pancake breakfast, please do not begin that tradition that week! :) Also, try to avoid as many distractions, as morning arguments, as possible, so your child will not be worried or upset during the testing. 
 
I have set up a sign up page on the wiki for any snack donations for that week. It is a nice treat for the students after their hard work. We need juice boxes (or water) and one food snack per day. Please send in individually packaged foods that do not need refrigerated.
 
Additionally, during the test, the students may chew gum or have a peppermint.

Take me out to the ballgame! Campus School is planning a field trip to see our own Memphis Redbirds at the annual Education Day game.

When: April 26th 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM


Cost: $10 for both students and adults (plus lunch)

Please let your child’s teacher know by Friday 2/25.

Spelling Homefun is no more! (...for now)

There will not be anymore Spelling Homefun until after TCAP!

However, in its place, your child will be bringing home a Social Studies TCAP prep workbook. They will have a four pages to complete each week. They should bring home their textbook, and they need to write the page number in the book for where each answer is located.  They need to use the book!

Remember, Standford Math and Grammar is another resource you have available at home to help your child practice concepts.

Book Fair and Valentine's Day Party

The Book Fair starts next week. A flyer is going home today with more information.

In addition, our Valentine's Party is on Monday at 1:30, please send in a Valentine for ALL students.
