ITBS Testing Week 2013

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  This is a very important week for OLM. It's testing week. This test helps to guide our curriculum and planning for the year. This test also gives us the opportunity to see each student's areas of strengths and weaknesses. Please have your child go to bed early each night and eat a good breakfast each morning.  We will be taking tests everyday.  Please do not make appointments or take a trip this week, thank you for your support. Also a healthy snack will be provided each day .  Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help out :-)

Vocabulary for this week:

Spelling:  students will be taking both the practice and final spelling tests week.  Sorry for the confusion. These are this week's words:

There will be nightly work, either practicing vocab, studying for spelling, or maybe a math page.  Please continue to practice basic addition facts up to sum of ten. They are doing well with this.  I can tell my students are practicing!  Great work, students and parents :-)

This Friday 1st and 2nd grades bring a St. Vincent lunch for the homeless.  We will decorate a bag on Thursday and send it home that night for your child to fill with a lunch. Please have your child help to make the lunch. It is a very powerful experience for them to be a part of. Thanks for help!
