This was a marvelous Monday in room 204! We won the choice hour contest. Everyone turned in the form by the deadline! Congrats to our amazing class! This morning we had time for Reader’s Workshop, Math and Eng Tech. In the afternoon, we learned about reading a map, latitude and longitude and had time for books shopping. Remember to get lots of rest tonight and enjoy a healthy breakfast. We will be taking the Math MEAP.
Student directories were given to students today. The youngest student in each BCS family received the student directories today.
Please remember, MEAP testing on the 16th and 17th. Please make sure your child brings in good books or magazines. The state law mandates that if a student finishes the test early during any testing block, the only thing he/she may do is read. They may not draw or read on an electronic device. In fact, they can’t bring any electronic devices into the room (this is not a rule I usually have so it may be a challenge at first). Go to the library and get 3 or more JUST RIGHT chapter books for next week to read. Students will have an opportunity to read these after testing!
Parents - Please avoid making appointments for your children during the testing window.
