Newsletter Aims Week

Dear Parents and Students,

AIMS Testing begins this week. This is a super important week for your child and our school. In order to be successful on this test, students need adequate rest, full tummies, and an alert mind. Please make sure that your child goes to bed earlier this week. There will be no homework this to make sure that students have no excuse to stay up late.

During the aims week, we will be doing several different experiments in class. I will need your help bringing in items for the experiments. Also, we will need healthy snacks for this week. The only required item that each student needs to bring is a white t-shirt in their size. We will be making “I Survived the Aims Test” T-shirts. We will wear these on the following Monday and take a picture.

Thank you for all the responses for the items we will need in class. I will send home a list today or tomorrow listing the things that we still need. I can already tell you that only one person has signed up to bring T-Shirt paint. We will need this by Tuesday in order to start our shirts.

Thank you,
Mrs. Wallace

Dear Parents and Students,
I hope that all of you had a wonderful long weekend.
We had a great week of learning last week. We continued to do reading workshops in class. The kids love it. In English, we will be going over figurative language. This week we will focus on AIMS Preparation. This is a super important week for review before the test. Please make sure your child is at school on time every day this week.
I look forward to a wonderful week of learning. Check the link for the upcoming events. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at mandienschool@yahoo.com or call me at school. Also, don’t forget to check out the blog.

Thank You,
Mrs. Wallace
