Looking ahead to the week of May 8 (Week B)

The children enjoyed a visit from Jane Wood, author of several Ghosts from the Coast books!

Students love diving into electricity lessons!  They are learning about circuits.

Hi, families!  I hope you all had a great week!

LIFESKILL of the week:  Effort - Encourage your child to celebrate ways of showing the LIFESKILL of effort!

SC Ready testing:  Thank you so much to all who were able to donate toward our testing snacks!  You are welcome to send in your donations ahead of time, if you'd like!  

Volunteers needed:  Please see the note from Mrs. Allesch below -

Dear Parents,

The Teacher Appreciation Luncheon will be held Friday, May 12. In order to make this event a success we need as many volunteers as possible. We are asking for 2 parents/guardians from each class to arrive 15 mins prior to the class's lunch time, receive any direction Mrs. West may have for you, escort the class to lunch and then back to class. You would need to arrive at 11:20 and be prepared to stay until 12:10.

Occasionally we have a class that only has one volunteer or possibly none. If you are able to help, it is much appreciated. 

Please contact me, Maria Allesch, at mariaa1272@gmail.com ASAP.

Looking ahead to next week:  As mathematicians, students will begin reviewing for the SC Ready test.  In science, students will wrap up their study of electricity.  As readers and writers, students will continue studying test-taking strategies and reviewing for the SC Ready assessment.  It's important to note that you may see some ungraded work going home in communication folders these next few weeks... that's OK, because it will be SC Ready review!  Some review, however, will be graded. 

Multiplication celebration:  Students will celebrate learning their multiplication facts Friday, May 19.  Please check out the letter going home in your child's communication folder for opportunities to donate toward the trail mix celebration.  

BRES Events:  Be sure to check out the rest of this year's events on the flyer below!  Mark your calendars!

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