Bike WEEK - May 6-10 at Hawthorne!
May 6-10 is BIKE WEEK at Hawthorne! We are partnering with BMPO (Bonneville County Metropolitan Planning Organization) and they are bringing their Bike Trailer to Hawthorne for the week. The Bike Trailer has bike helmets and 15 Trek BMX bikes that are great for kids to ride and practice their skills or learn to ride on. We will set up a bike skills course and our K-3 classes will rotate through it during their PE times and other open times that their teachers will set up. We will also have a sign up for some afterschool times if you want to come and help your student learn to ride. We are also going to host a "Hawthorne Hawk Ride to the Library". We are coordinating with other groups on that, we will send out a date as soon as we have it.
Idaho Reading Indicator (I.R.I.)
May is when we take our final Idaho Reading Indicator (I.R.I.) assessment for the year! Kindergarten - 3rd grade students take the I.R.I. three times a year to track their progress toward becoming proficient readers. For the I.R.I. we use the iStation Reading Assessment that all of our students take each month for our monthly progress monitoring. Our K-3 teachers will let you know when your student's class is testing in their classroom newsletters. Please encourage your student to focus, try hard and do their best!
