Play Your Way to Mars

There will also be lots of fun games to play as you pretend to journey to Mars.

The astronaut will be playing all these games too, so this is your chance to see how well you can score against a real astronaut. Can you beat him? Could you be the next astronaut to go to space?

COMING SOON-END OF YEAR TESTING

PLEASE HAVE THEM HERE FOR OUR REVIEWING WINDOW.
We have end-of-year testing right around the corner.  It is very important that your children are here at school. WE ARE REVIEWING EVERY DAY! It is also important that they are getting a good night’s sleep, a good breakfast, and here on time.

All of our tests are first thing in the morning. Our testing window is April 26 – May 10.

I will let the children chew sugar-free peppermint gum or mints during the RISE test.  Research does show that peppermint helps calm anxiety in students. Please let me know if you do not want your child to have gum during the tests.
