Hello Families!

Wabbit season! Duck season!  Wabbit season!  Duck season!  TEST SEASON!  If you recall the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, those words ring true in your child’s classroom right now.  🙂  Most kids have finished the NeSA-ELA Test, or will finish it up this week.  There is no rest for the weary, however, as we now embark on a condensed version of our Unit 5 Test in reading.  Thus, the kids will have no spelling this week, nor will I torture them with a Literacy Homework.  Next week we’ll shift gears to the NeSA Math Test, which we will be prepping for all this week in addition to our other exams.  If I melt your child’s brain, I apologize.  🙂

With hard work comes fun, however.  Last Friday we enjoyed a break with a movie and some treats.  This Friday the kids will become paleontologists for a day and excavate a fossil out of plaster of Paris.  This will take place Friday afternoon and will be a nice way to end a hard week.  The plaster can get a bit messy, so you might consider sending them to school wearing clothes that might get a bit dusty.

Thanks for reading, and thanks again for all you do to help your child succeed in school!

Mr. Wachter
