Students enjoyed celebrating the end of autism awareness month with simulations during our third grade community. Mrs. Nord and Mrs. Altman led a discussion about acceptance and celebrating differences.

Report cards: Please review your child's report card with him/her. It's a good time to reflect and set academic and behavior goals for the final nine weeks! Please sign and return the report card cover. You may keep the report card and comments. Several students have yet to return their covers!
Looking ahead to next week: As historians, students will continue studying the Civil Rights movement and enjoy another visit from Historic Columbia's Traveling Trunk Show. They will not have a traditional test. They will turn in a booklet, which they will do in class for a grade. As mathematicians, they will wrap up their time unit and begin reviewing for the upcoming state-wide test. As readers, students will continue reviewing for the upcoming state-wide test. As writers, they'll wrap up their study of text-dependent analysis.

You are so important to your child’s academic success and we know that you want to do everything you can do to ensure he/she does their personal best. Please read these tips below to help your child with test preparation.
- Encourage your child to do his/her best.
- Make sure your child gets adequate sleep. A tired child is less able to pay attention or handle the demands of testing.
- Give your child well-balanced meals. Rest, exercise, and eating well are important for test taking.
- Arrive to school on time each day of the test.
- Please do not schedule appointments during testing week. Students that miss a test would have to complete the test on a scheduled make-up date.
Thank you again for all of your support! Have a great weekend!
