Summer Birthday Wishes
We have two summer birthdays: Olivia M.’s in July and Ashton’s in August. Early greetings go to both of these students as they turn another year older and wiser.
Upcoming Testing
May 3-18 (includes make-up days), our grade level will participate in DE testing for reading and math, as well as exams for special-area classes. You will be notified in Class Dojo of specific dates and times. Attendance and punctuality are important every day. Some tests are scheduled at 8:40. Students must be seated in the lab and ready to begin at that time. Tardy students will not be admitted into the lab after the testing starts. We want the children to be calm, confident, nourished, and well-rested. They’ve worked all year, and this is their chance to show what they have learned. Thank you for encouraging your child to have a positive mindset, and approach testing with enthusiasm.

Lion
by Emilia
I’m a lion.
Look at my mane.
Hear me roar!
You’ll see me in the
Zoo!
And I’d love to meet you!
Koala
by Rebecca
I am a koala.
I have gray fur.
I have a stubby tail.
Hummmm.
I meditate
By the shores.
