Good afternoon,

I hope everyone is enjoying their half day of school.  We have been in a meeting discussing the new PARCC Test, which will take the place of the ISATs.  We will begin taking these tests in March.

Next week we will be reading the story, “We’ll Never Forget You, Roberto Clemente.”  We will have activities and writing that accompany our story.  On Thursday, the students will have their end of story test, along with a DLP Test.  On Thursday, we will also finish up Chapter 10, Lesson 2 in social studies with a quiz.  We have been learning about the new government the United States had to create after winning the Revolutionary War.  We are discussing acids and bases in science and will finish up our science unit at the end of the week or toward the beginning of next week. 

All students must have their second trimester book report completed by February 12 at the latest.  Please remember that any school supplies needed may be bought at our very own Wesley Store, The Paw Pantry.  The store is open during lunch time on orange days.  We will have DARE on Tuesdays for the next four weeks.  The students enjoy this and receive valuable information.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.  Have a nice, three-day weekend.

 

Mrs. Constantopoulos
