Week of April 25th

Happy Easter to all my kiddos and their families!!  Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend! 

Testing is this week!  Please make sure your children get adequate rest and a good breakfast. :)  We will be testing in the mornings Monday through Thursday.  Testing works up a good appetite, so you might want to pack your child a good snack too.  Our afternoons will be focused mostly on science and social studies.  In science, we will be looking at rock types and minerals, doing an experiment, and rock eating :).  We will also be learning more about the butterfly larvae we have in our classroom.   In social studies, we will be doing some USA work.  I have 18 children that have passed their online 50 state location quiz on expert level with a 100%!!  I am super proud of them.  I know the rest will make it as well!! Several of the children are now working on passing their 50 state capitals quiz with an A and several have passed it and have now moved on to locating countries in Africa and Asia.  Four students have even made it to Europe!  Wow!  They are blowing me away!

In celebration of testing being over, we will have a POP Party on Friday.  The children may bring anything that has the word pop in it such as.......popcorn (popped please), pop, pop rocks, popsicles, pop tarts, etc.

Don't forget to look at the A to Z countdown calendar.  Tomorrow afternoon is Game Day.  Also, don't forget to return the letter I sent last week if you can help out with the auction or Leonardo's.  I really need your help.  Thanks so much!
