Welcome back to the full swing of things!  It’s going to be a crazy couple of months!! We start taking our End of the Year Sage tests on the 22nd.  Our first two tests are writing.  The rest of the testing schedule can be found on the classroom calendar (along with many other things coming!)

Today was a crazy-Monday-After-Spring-Break kind of morning.  I didn’t get a chance to go through the Words Their Way lists with the kiddos today, but I will be doing that tomorrow.  They will have Words Their Way homework starting tomorrow.  Journals need to be done by Friday, as well as reading for 20 minutes everyday.  

Enjoy the nice weather!!
Mrs. Schneider
