On Friday we said our farewells to our student teacher, Ms. Duarte. Each student had a chance to sit with her and say good bye as she opened a specially selected chapter book that they handed to her to open. Thanks to your generous donations of books, we filled over 8 bins and filled a whole bookshelf! She was overjoyed and appreciated all the kind words and advice given to her by the students.
Looks like I will be back to flying solo in the classroom this week as we gear up for the Math MCAS! On Tuesday 5/13 and Wednesday 5/14 we will have round two of MCAS as we tackle the Math portion.
- There will be NO spelling and NO homework this week! (My gift to you!)
- Please be sure that your child has an extra, healthy snack on Tuesday and Wednesday,
- Gets a good night sleep Monday and Tuesday night,...(let's hope the Bruins don't go into overtime! )
- Has a hearty protein filled breakfast Tuesday and Wednesday am!
- Has a positive attitude towards this test as they Show what they Know!
It's hard to believe we are in the home stretch! Once the Math MCAS is over the real work begins. Keeping the students motivated and on task until June 23rd! Have no fear, STEM is here! I'm looking forward to the final weeks as we kick STEM into high gear!
Until then, let's get ready to ROCK the math MCAS!
