Happy May Day! We are rolling down the last big hill on the roller coaster of third grade. Our hands are up in the air and we are yelling, “Wheeee!” Pretty soon we will be pulling into the station. It seems like it’s been a short ride filled with the thrill of twists, turns, drops, and loop de loops. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of riders! This group has been exceptional in every way--I’m going to miss them something fierce next year! May News and Reminders
MAP Testing Schedule Our schedule will look different the week of May 2-6. Our specials times will move to the morning from 10:00-10:50 Monday-Wednesday to accommodate MAP testing in other grade levels. Third grade will test Thursday and Friday, May 5-6. We are very fortunate in that our class has been assigned the computer lab for our testing location. This gives our students the advantage of being in a familiar setting when they take their tests. Thursday will be devoted to ELA-English Language Arts and Friday will be focused on Math. We will test 8:30-10:30 and then again 12:30-2:30. In between, we will have an extended recess outside (weather permitting) including a sack lunch on the playground. Students will also have a testing snack from PTA. I will try to keep things low-key and encouraging so students don’t feel stressed. I will have some special read alouds and small brain break activities planned to make the day enjoyable. Students in the past have told me that they like testing. I am confident this group is ready for success!

Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful mothers! All that you are doing does not go unnoticed even if we get busy and forget to say "thank you!" The sacrifices, patience, grace, kind words, and unconditional love is being stored away in our hearts. You are making us feel secure, special, brave, and worthy. We are going to do great things some day and it's because of YOU! Right now we are learning from your example. We see the good in others and we are kind. We know how to share. We are willing to take chances and we strive to meet our goals. We are confident that no matter what, you will love us. Thank you, moms, for all you do to give us joy! We love you!
