Testing! Yikes!

Lots of news and updates:

We are doing our Language Arts Testing this week (hopefully Tues and Wed). I say hopefully because we had A LOT of kids out sick today so I may postpone if a lot are out tomorrow. I wanted to give a couple tips for testing. Make sure your students get enough rest the night before, a protein filled breakfast and are hydrated. No sugary foods or drinks right before. We will be taking it easy right after the tests and homework is very light this week. We are going to take a week off of testing next week and then do the Math on Monday the 11th and Tues the 12th.

We have couple important dates coming up:
*Wednesday May 6 at 12:30 (next wednesday) we are having a Planning meeting for the end of the year beach day and the promotion ceremony. We are encouraging all parents to help out with these.
*Thursday May 7 at 7pm is the Junior High parent information night.
*Wednesday May 13th is the Volunteer tea. Gives us a chance to honour all the wonderful parents that help out in our rooms.
*Wednesday May 20 6:30 is Open House.
*Thurs May 21 is the field trip to the Junior High
*Friday May 22 is International Games Field trip. Please let me know if you can drive for it and have your paperwork in the office for driving.
*Tuesday June 2 is the end of year Beach day celebration.
*Wednesday June 3 is the Promotion Ceremony. Not sure on the time.
*June 6 is last day of school.

Homework this week is very light:
Math: Monday 7.2.1, Thurs 7.2.2
No Vocabulary
Reading Logs: read every night, Reading logs on Friday
Scholastic News due Friday.

Wow. That was a lot. Hope the next month isn't too overwhelming. Happy May Day.
