***SAGE Writing Tests Next Week!!!

This year, we have to administer the SAGE Writing Assessment earlier in February.  (The SAGE Language Arts and Math Assessments will be given in May.) We have been working really hard at school on writing informative and opinion pieces to prepare.  This is all pretty new to our class because we’ve never taken the end of year test before third grade.  
FYI: Our SAGE Writing Test sessions are on next Tuesday, February 3rd and Thursday, February 5th.  Please make sure your child has a nice big, healthy breakfast with lots of sleep!  


I will be sending home another permission slip today(I know, another one…) for chewing peppermint gum during SAGE Testing. Studies show that the peppermint calms the students and helps them focus during long tests. Please read and return the permission slip with your child before next Tuesday, February 3rd.  Any donations of peppermint chewing gum would be greatly appreciated as well.  Thanks for all your help and support!

Fieldtrip Permission Slip

Please print off permission slip for our field trip on the 10th of February.  Please sign and return the permission slip by February 4th.  Please pay $5.00 admission to the front office ASAP.  Colby Hansen and Ben Jones paid $10.00 at the beginning of the year for field trips, so you both do not need to pay the $5.00.  Thanks so much.
Please let me know if any parents would like to attend no later than Feb.4th.

Donations needed for Multiplication Madness Party!!!

Hello everyone!  WE are getting geared-up and ready for the BIG Multiplication Madness Party on next Thursday, January 15th.  Each class is in charge of bringing a certain part.  Our class is in charge of paper products (for 125 students).  We will need to bring paper bowls, spoons, napkins, and placemats.  Last year, Chick-Fil-A donated the plastic placemats that stick to the table.  Please let me know if you are willing to donate any of these items.  Please comment on this blog post if you can help.  Thanks so much for all you do!  We are super excited to celebrate how smart we are!!!
