The first day of
Spring is on Friday! We will be taking the PARCC ELA test next week (March
23-25). It is very important that your children are well rested and come to
school on time. We will begin testing promptly at 9:30am. I will be providing
sugar free mints for during the testing sessions. The school will also be
providing a small morning snack, but you may wish to send in an additional
healthy snack for later in the morning. Looking
ahead, we will be taking the math portion of the PARCC April 6-8.
Later this week
we will be reading “The King in the Kitchen” by Margaret Slattery. Also, on
this newsletter you will find our spelling words for the next two weeks. Please practice these words at home as
well. No spelling test this week, it will be on Friday, March 27. Let’s have a great week!
