Classroom Updates

A few bits of information:

1:   Case 21 testing is the week of March 24th:  

Monday, 3/24        Science - 5th grade only

Tuesday, 3/25       Reading - 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th grades

Wednesday, 3/26   Math - 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th grades

Please be sure your child is at school ON TIME, well rested & tummy full with a healthy breakfast.  We will begin testing promptly at 9:20.

2:   Thursday, March 27 is our Wilmington field trip.  While this is a new field trip here at Forest Pines, this will be my 4th year taking my students on this trip. At my old school this trip was a highlight of the year for my students.  This was a tradition for 4th graders & the lower grades looked forward to going to the Battleship & aquarium when they were in 4th grade.  I hope this can become the same type of tradition here at Forest Pines.

BUSES will be leaving PROMPTLY at 7 am on 3/27.  We cannot wait for students who are late.  BE SURE TO BE ON TIME.  

3: Math Madness Night - Thursday, 3/20.  I hope you will join in on the math festivities.  Math activities for all grade levels will be shared.  The goal is to for parents learn additional ways to help their students at home with Common Core math.  There will be hands on activities, games, etc.  In 4th & 5th grade we will be sharing resources to video links on how we teach Common Core math.

4: Spring Break Saturday, 3/29 - Sunday, April 6

That's a lot of information.  I will be sending reminders about all of the above via Remind101 as each date gets closer.
