Thankful For Time Off Thursday

We are in the final stretch over here.  We will spend the last hour of school diving into a new Go Math lesson, because it is not Spring Break yet!  I am not assigning any regular homework over the break, but I do expect that kids will keep up with their independent reading and want them to log their minutes/pages on the Gold Card.

Need to Know

• Parent Teacher Conferences are Wednesday, April 19. Many families have already signed up for a time. Here is the link:   Click Here
• Results from today's Math test are available on Think Central. To receive partial credit, please turn in a written explanation, with examples and labels, of how to arrive at the correct response. I will accept corrections any day the week of 4/17.
• 40 Book Challenge: Congratulations to Samantha, Hambalat, Kaelyn and Brianna. Each has met the 40 Book Challenge, and each is on the way to reading more than 60 books this school year.
• If your child is not close to 75% on ST Math, please try to get there! 
• Each student will need a protractor for classwork and homework next week.  We will be measuring angles. The clear ones are usually easier to use.
• The Spring MAPS Testing window opens on May 15th. I will send home the schedule soon. If you are looking for ways to boost your child's scores, I recommend IXL Disney has purchased both reading and math. The best way to do better on Reading and Language tests is to actually read. Just read, people!

P.S. Dhiren just helped me edit this post's title. Thanks for the idea, Dhiren!
