STAAR is complete! We do not get results on the STAAR from the state until this summer. Every grade level will be completing End of year MAP testing in the following weeks and those results will be able to be shared with you quickly upon their completion. Thank you for helping get the kiddos ready for this and also for turning out for our "picnic" this Wednesday even if the weather was not very accommodating. We do not plan on canceling Spring Fling again so we hope you can join us tomorrow evening. We do have a holiday this Friday so please be aware.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Apr 20th-May 1st Exercising Brain and Body

If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Exercising Brain and Body we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well Blackout by Rocco, Good for Me and You by Mercer and Mayer, Todd's TV by Proimos, and Your Fantastic Elastic Brain by Deak, phd. Some Sample Qs: How should we balance tv/games with exercising our brain and body?

The Goal: Students understand Our bodies and our brains need to be exercised. If our bodies don't get enough exercise we don't stay healthy. To get our brains stronger we have to get it to think which helps it grow stronger. Reading is one of the best ways to exercise the brain.

Summary: To get faster, stronger, and smarter everyday (from our student pledge) I must exercise my brain and my body

May 4th-May 15th Telling the Truth

If you would like to reinforce the lessons on Telling the Truth we recommend 4 popular kids books that could lead to great discussions. These could also probably be found on utube as well The berenstain bears and the bad habit by The Berenstain bears and the Trush by Berenstain, The dog who cried "Woof" by Barkly, Sam tells stories by Robberecht, and Sarah's little ghosts by Robberecht. Some Sample Qs: Does everyone in this story tell the truth? What happened because he/she didn't tell the truth? We tell the truth because it is the right thing to do

The Goal: When you tell the truth people trust you. When an adult gives you a direction, he or she needs to know you can be trusted to do the right thing.

Summary: Always tell the Truth

Have a question, concern, or suggestion? Please submit it below, if you have the question others might also we frequently will put answers up for everyone to clear up any concerns or confusion.
