This week we are taking the IOWA Tests of Basic Skills. Testing is every day, Monday – Thursday. Unless a student is absent, testing will be completed Thursday. It’s important that your child is well rested and has a healthy breakfast. It’s important for the students to do well and show how much they know on these tests!
Thursday, we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a classroom party that begins at 1:30. I encourage the students to bring Valentines to pass out. Of course, they should be appropriate, and students should have one for each child in the class. Thanks to the parents helping with the party!
Our party helpers are Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Froats, and Mrs. Balinski.
The parents providing snacks are Mrs. Stahulak and Mrs. Karen Swain .
The parent providing the students with a beverage is Mrs. Chokshi.
A special thanks to Mrs. Caldarazzo for being a great classroom part coordinator!
HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOM:
SPELLING/SCIENCE: Skeletal System words.
This is a combination spelling test and science quiz.
Obviously, spelling the skeletal words correctly is how spelling will be graded.
Having the parts of the skeletal system labeled in the correct places will be how science is graded.

We will be reading expository pieces and highlighting the elements. We will then apply these components into our writing.
