You will notice that our homework this week is a little different. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, and students in Room 204 will get a chance to enjoy the change of pace.
Homework is an important part of school, but with MCAS this week, I felt that everyone needs some down-time. As a parent, I LOVE nights when there’s no homework, but unfortunately, they are few and far between.
So, this week, students will have homework of a different kind altogether. See the homework sheet for more details.
After I present them with their homework in morning meeting, there are bound to be some questions. All I am asking is that they complete all of their items before Friday, pretty much like a regular school week. They always ask if they REALLY have to do all of the things they see on the list. OF COURSE they do!! Don’t let them wiggle out of it! 🙂
Before we know it, the weekend will be here, and the Language Arts MCAS will be a wonderful third grade memory.
Praise your children for the hard work they have put in all year, as it truly pays off in the efforts they put forth.
PLEASE let me know if there are any questions about our Snack Bags for MCAS. I would like to have 100% participation as we had the last three years! Students LOVE their parent notes!!
For those of you new to MCAS, the results of both the Language Arts and the Math tests will be mailed to your home address sometime in October. It’s a long time to wait, that’s for sure!
Please be on time this week, as we will get rolling right after our morning routine. I don’t want students to feel rushed.
We will be doing an art project in class this spring. Please send in empty, flattened cereal boxes.
Thank you!!
