9/30 Updates

Dear Families,
 I hope you enjoyed the gorgeous weekend!
Tomorrow is our first session of NECAP testing and I let the children know that they may bring in gum to chew during the testing. I also reminded them that coming to school on time, getting a good night's rest, and eating a healthy breakfast (all of which is always recommended) is a good idea for these testing days.
 On another note, we tried herbal tea from the school garden today and it got some good reviews. If your child would like to bring in a mug to keep at school, they may do so. I don't have enough mugs for everyone and do not want to keep using up store bought cups. I have dish-soap and sponges so they can stay clean.
 I hope that the Class Blog is a good resource for helping your child keep up with homework expectations. I was impressed by how well students did on their first spelling quizzes. New words went home today.
 As usual, thank you for your support!
We'll try to keep things low key as we go through these six days of testing. I know the children will try their best and hopefully not get too crazy with the the chewing gum!
 Have a peaceful evening, Renee
