Week of March 18

Hello, families!  I hope you are having a great week and enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this past weekend... looks like we have another one coming up!

The first round of PASS testing is next week!  PASS testing will begin Tuesday, March 19.  Please be sure your child gets plenty of rest and has a great morning each day of testing!  We will have a small breakfast item and snack each day of testing, but please make sure your child gets a nutritious breakfast before coming to class!  We will begin testing as close to 8:30 a.m. as possible, so please have your child here on time. Be sure not to schedule appointments on PASS testing dates.

The testing schedule is as follows:

March 19 - Writing portion

March 20 - Multiple choice writing portion

We have worked hard all year and are very prepared for testing.  It is a very important test so students will be encouraged to do their best by putting forth personal best effort.  It is their time to shine and show all they’ve learned!

THERE WILL BE NO HOMEWORK THE WEEK OF PASS, OTHER THAN TO READ EACH NIGHT (no reading log), GET A GOOD NIGHT’S REST AND TO COME IN ON TIME WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE AND THINKING CAPS ON!

Students will not have quizzes or tests the week of PASS testing, either.

Again if at all possible, please have your child here on the testing days so they do not have to be pulled out and given the test separately.

Students will also continue to work on our multiplication algorithms throughout the week.  As historians, they will be introduced to the Antebellum period through a "Being Here" experience with South Carolina's Traveling Trunk show.  

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week!  Thank you again for your support!

We enjoyed our trip to Cowpens last Thursday!  It was a huge success!  Students learned about the tactics and the importance of the terrain in this battle.  Thank you to Mr. DeLong, Mrs. Kivett, Mrs. Mack, Mrs. Moody and Mrs. Bibb for chaperoning.  Be sure to check out these snapshots, courtesy of Mrs. Mack!
