Constructed Response Test & Other News!

Today we had our first Constructed Response Test. It was over fractions and the kids were terrified! I tried to assure them, as I will assure you, that this first one is just for practice and to get the kids used to seeing what kinds of questions will be on the future tests. I kept repeating my motto, "It is okay not to know, but it is not okay not to try." Needless to say, after 55 minutes of being tested on things they haven't learned yet, the class was a little frazzled. :)


This week is our canned food drive. We need to collect as many canned food items as possible! Please bring any cans that you can. (Pun intended :) )


Also, tonight is Skating Night for Indian Lake at Sumner Skate Zone from 6:30-9. (Across from the new Kroger Marketplace between Gallatin and Hendersonville.) The kids should have little advertisements about it in their take home folder today.

Our Halloween parade and party are THIS Friday, October 26. I have been asked many questions about this. The kids CANNOT come to school in their costumes. The parade starts at 2:00. I am welcoming parents to start showing up around 1:15. This is when we will start putting our costumes on and getting ready for the parade. The party is to follow the parade. Check your emails for the Room Moms' email.

Here are some reminders that we have been asked to pass along to you:

Students are not allowed to leave the school building until the bell rings unless they have been checked out by a parent.

If students are late, they must be signed in by a parent. This is a safety issue, and we need to know that the parent is aware that the student is tardy.

Thanks so much for your support and all that you do! Hope to see you Friday!
