Looking ahead to the week of May 2

Students enjoyed sending our Special Olympians off with a cheer!

Hi, families!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Looking ahead:  Students will be quizzed on their individual multiplication tables these next two weeks, with a culminating mixed multiplication test at the end of the unit.  Please have your child practice his/her facts every day!  As historians, students will be learning about the changes, which took place in South Carolina, during the 19th and 20th centuries.  As scientists, they will kick off their electricity and magnetism unit.  As readers and writers, students will begin an in-depth look at careers in South Carolina.  They will research careers in the different regions of our state and enjoy guest speakers (a big thanks to Mrs. Turner for setting up our guest speakers!).  Students will continue working on their career project the next few weeks, and we hope to celebrate by having a career fair at the end of the unit.  Students will also wrap up their cursive handwriting study for the year. 

SC Ready testing reminders:  Thank you again to all of the families, who donated items to make testing a little "sweeter" next week!  We appreciate your kindness!  As we head into testing, we will have a slight schedule change.  Students will eat at 12:27, April 26 - 28... just in case you plan on joining your child for lunch!  Please remember to have your child get a good night's sleep, eat a filling breakfast, and be to school on time during testing week!  Students will not have a homework packet or reading log to complete during the week of testing!  There will also be no tests or quizzes administered the week of state-wide testing.  Please be sure to check out our "Wish Wall," to write an encouraging message to our class.

Homework:  Students will receive a new homework packet Friday, April 29.  It will be due Friday, May 6.

Thank you again for all that you do! Have a great week!
