News from this week
Dear Parents,
We have some fun activities planned for this week. Students who turned in 100% of their reading logs this year will get to see a magician on Monday at the Reading Celebration. On Wednesday, we will watch the fifth grade chorus perform songs from the musical, Annie.
We have a SS test on the Civil War on Wednesday. Students should study the slideshow and Quizlets on eClass, and their journals nightly.
There will not be Morning Math this week. I will have it again the Tuesday after Spring Break.
Please note that we will not be accepting lunchtime visitors from April 9th-May 1st due to changes in schedules for testing. So be sure to come eat with your child next week if you would like! Georgia Milestones Testing Dates are listed in the Important Dates section. Please be sure to do your best to have your child here on these days. All of the 4th grade testing begins at 8:15. Please be sure your child arrives by 8 AM if he/she is a car rider. Thanks!
