Today we ended our week by welcoming Maine author Lynn Plourde to our school. She was fantastic to listen to and taught us a lot. We enjoyed an assembly of hers in the morning and then attended a breakout session of hers in the afternoon. What an awesome day!
I am so proud of your children! EVERY single one of them is doing an amazing job with their research of their famous person. We have been note taking on sticky notes and organizing those notes into categories: personal info, famous achievements, interesting facts, important events and family life. They are doing an incredible job! I can’t wait for you to see the final product Wednesday night at Open House. They will be presenting to their class (and other classrooms on Wednesday at school as well). Please be sure to bring famous person costumes Wednesday to school!
We finished our Southeast states this week and will have a quiz over them next Friday. As before, your child will need to know the states and capitals. They will also be asked to locate the states on a map.
You will notice a testing schedule to the left. This is the Maine state summative testing that all Maine 3rd - 8th graders participate in. For more info see the email I’ll be sending home.
I would love to setup a schedule of healthy snacks for testing days. Something for your kiddos to look forward to on that string of testing days. I will send out a signup genius or send home a paper signup next week for you to help contribute.
We are in need of clorox wipes if you have any :)
I hope that this warmer spring weather is here to stay and that you and your families have a wonderful weekend!
