Camp Reed Meeting

Just a reminder...tomorrow, May 11th, there will be two parent meetings for Camp Reed. One is at 9:15 am and the other is at 6:30 pm. Any questions or concerns you may have can be addressed at one of these meetings. They will be held at Hallett in the multi-purpose room.

We Have New "Friends"...

We are finally moving on to the next investigation in our Structures of Life science kit. The Crayfish! Our "friends" came last week and the kids have been anxiously waiting to get their hands on them. Okay, maybe not everyone has been waiting to get their hands on them...but everyone has been excited to see what we would be doing with them.

As the name of our science kit implies, we will be studying the structures of this creature and it's habitats and territorial patterns. Today, we learned how to handle them carefully. After all, they are living creatures and they can pinch! We also studied their structures. That took some creativity...

Remember, you are always welcome to come in and enjoy some "hands on" experiences with us!

MSP Testing/Morning Aleks Group

During the MSP testing weeks, there will be no morning ALEKS math class. The testing weeks run May 10th through May 21st. If your child needs to ride the early bus to school, he or she is still able to to do that!

Our testing dates for fourth grade are Wednesday and Thursday (May 12th and 13th) and Monday and Tuesday (May 17th and 18th). Please try to make sure your child is well-rested and is at school those days, if at all possible. If your child is sick and can not be at school, a make up can be rescheduled. The kids seem to test best when they can stay in the their regular environment and testing schedule. We have worked hard and focused on being prepared for the test but I also want to stress a "No Worries...Do Your Best" attitude with the kids.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
