This week was a long week. We had a lot of assessments and not everyone did as well as they have in the past. As report cards become available online next Wednesday, it is good to remember that each quarter gets progressively more challenging as new material is introduced. Not everyone learns at the same rate and progressing on a standard is great. We are moving into Quarter 4 and we will be reviewing and adding to old standards and learning some new ones too. I am very proud of our class for hanging in there and working so hard this week. Due to assessments and time, students who usually take a Spelling test on sight words will have their test on Monday instead of today.

 

Next week on Tuesday we will have the opportunity to purchase books from Ms. Finnegan’s Book Fair. Please see previous posts and emails regarding purchasing this day. If you miss our day, Ms. Finnegan will still be able to fulfill orders during the rest of the week. So, we will not have Library Check-out again next week. Keep holding onto your books or you can send them in and we can hold them in our classroom.

 

Our class picture and spring student pictures will be on Friday. Smile!
