Dear Families, Projects, projects in the air. Expect a busy last 4 weeks of school!We have been busy working on state projects in social studies and inventions in science. We have begun planting some crops from the different geographic regions of the United States. Our Spanish play is in final rehearsal stage and students have been preparing skits in drama. We have also been getting ready for Math MCAS next week. This week has been full of math review. Hopefully the kids will feel prepared and confident for the tests which take place on Tuesday, May 15 and and Wednesda, May 16 next week. Please make sure that your child is at school before morning meeting on testing days so we are ready to get started right away. We will have a special extra breakfast and snack on those mornings. In the rainy weather we have been inside for many recesses. Some of the students have really taken responsibility for working on school projects, like their state projects, during that time and deserve some applause for their efforts. Many of the the travel buddies have made their way back to our school and we have encouraged students to bring them home to share with their family. Please make sure that they come back to school for some mapping and sharing activities! Enjoy the sun while it lasts!
