We're gonna rock this test, it's the OAA!  Tuesday is the reading OAA and Thursday is the math OAA.  We are SOOOO ready!  We have practiced and reviewed, continued with new learning, and had a fabulous pep rally!  If you didn't get a chance to watch the video we made...check it out!

We should have some photos and video on the library website this week.
If you haven't returned the "envelope" for your child yet, you can do so tomorrow...just a letter of encouragement to get them relaxed and excited for Tuesday!  PTO is providing lots of treats this week.. Make sure everyone is getting lots of sleep, eating a hearty breakfast, getting to school on time, and ready to use our strategies.  Here we go!!

Well, it is the last week until we show what we know!  These kiddos have been working SO hard.  I couldn't be more proud of them.  Between new knowledge and review, they have been real troopers.  Their work ethic remains strong...this week will fly by!
I will be sending home an envelope with your child.  Please write a letter of encouragement to your child and seal it in the envelope.  I'll have it on their desk the morning of our first test, Tuesday, April 23rd.  PTO has some encouraging goodies planned as well, and of course the teachers have an OAA assembly planned just for the kids.
I'll have some tips next weekend to get them relaxed and ready for test week. Strategies work for reading and math! It's so important to keep them on their schedule, getting lots of sleep, keeping hydrated and eating well, and most importantly-keep reading!  They cannot have enough exposure to new vocabulary.
