Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 5, Week 2- May 6, 2013
We will be taking the Math MCAS on
Wednesday and Thursday. It is very important that your child is well rested and
comes to school on time. The school will be providing a morning snack both days,
and I will be providing gum for during the testing session. Please send in an
additional healthy snack for later in the morning. Since we want everyone to be
well rested and ready to do their absolute very best, I will not be assigning
homework the night before, or during the test. Let’s have a great week!
