Dear
Families of Room 23,
It’s
hard to believe we’re down to the last six weeks of school. I’m beginning to
feel nostalgic and am taking in every moment that I have left with this very
special group of students!
Many
projects and important dates will fill these final weeks of school. Please take
special note of the following:
1.
Get ready for our 2nd
annual Mustang Maker Night on Wednesday, May 15 from 5-8pm, an evening packed
with hands-on tinkering, robotics, crafts, and all kinds of fun
experiments. Local businesses that specialize in providing children
with maker activities are enthusiastic to return, and we have amazing
parent-led booths planned for all ages. Food trucks will be on site for
easy dinner. GET INVOLVED: Please see The Edna Weekly this week to sign
up to help! Thank you to our PTA for
bringing this wonderful event to Edna for a second year!
2.
The
3rd and 4th grade
music performance will be held on Friday,
May 17 from 10:15-11:00 in the multipurpose room. All are welcome!
3. The Chorus Concert is Tuesday,
May 28, at 7:00 at MVMS. More details will follow.
4. Open House is Thursday, June 6 from 6:00-7:00. The third graders are
excited to show you all the hard work they’ve done this year!
5. We begin CAASPP testing on Monday, May 13 (next
week). Times vary depending on the day. Testing blocks are
60-75 minutes depending on the test. Here are the scheduled dates. I
will let you know of any changes.
· Monday, May 13
· Tuesday, May 14
· Thursday, May 16
· Monday, May 20
· Tuesday, May 21
· Wednesday, May 22
Please remember that the keys to success with these
tests are for students to stay relaxed, come to school rested and well fed
(including bringing healthy snacks and lunches), and use test-taking strategies
as we’re practicing in class. They already know the content…now they get to
show their stuff!
Please
let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
