End of Week 26

Hi all,

It is the end of the second trimester!  A lot of this is repeat from last week, but it is extremely important information!  Please see below for an update of the week:

1. REPORT CARDS:  Second trimester report cards are being sent home with your child on Friday afternoon.  Please be on the lookout!
2. Spring Break Absences:  As a reminder, if your child is going to miss two days or more of school,  you must first fill out the pre-arranged absence form.  This needs to be filled out as soon as possible if your child is going to be missing school for vacation.  Form is attached to this email for your convenience.
3. Smarter Balanced Testing Calendar:  The state testing dates are posted on the blog:  http://allstarlearners.typepad.com/my_weblog/2015/03/smarter-balance-testing.html  If at all possible, please avoid scheduling dentist/orthodontist etc. appointments on testing days. 
4. Smarter Balanced Testing (headphones!): Beginning March 26^th, all students in grades 3-5 will participate in the Smarter Balanced Assessment. Each grade will test in two separate weeks in the areas of math and English Language Arts. All tests are online now and require the use of headphones. Students may use the school headphones, but if you prefer your child not use those, you may send a working pair to school in a labeled ziploc bag. Please send this to school by March 26^th to ensure your student is ready for their test.  Please feel free to communicate with Mrs. GG (grigsbya@bsd405.org) regarding any questions you may have about this matter.
5. F.L.A.S.H., also known as “5^th grade health”: Our unit will begin in mid-late April.  If you do not want your child to participate in this unit of health, you will first need to preview the materials and contact Nurse Chris (houdenc@bsd405.org).  In order for your child to be excused there is a form that needs to be filled out.  Please see the official district letter I sent out last week for more information.

 

As always, please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks to everyone who participated in our annual Catch a Leprechaun Challenge.  You all had interesting designs and it was great to hear about the process of creating your traps!  Please see the security video below that captures some images of our little friend.  :)

 

Congrats Pi Master Ella & Emily

The challenge was given... and the mission was completed!  Congratulations to Ella and Emily!  They both were able to tell Mrs. Stover AKA. "The Math Guru", 100 numbers of Pi.  Because they were able to meet the challenge, they will have the honor of releasing a Pi upon Mr. Regala and Mrs. Stover's facial regions...  

Friday will be forever known as...Pi Independence Day!!!  The halls of Cherry Crest will echo with the sounds of pie crust meeting human flesh...

G5LTW!
