A Great Week!

What a great week; you should be so proud of your child! They have been working EXTREMELY hard on their math OAKS Test. It is exciting to see all of their hard work paying off! Also, our school was a "Daily Winner" in a week long math contest from www.sumdog.com and many of our students are topping the leader board. 

This week has also included some other exciting things. We have been working on a science experiment and learning about density. Today, in P.E. we worked on basketball skills. We also finished reading, "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing," by Judy Blume. It has been fun eating lunch as a class in our classroom; we truly have a wonderful learning community. 

Next week conferences start. I look forward to meeting with each one of you and sharing the wonderful progress your child has made! I encourage you to let your child attend so he/she can help lead the conference and really take ownership. We have some exciting things being revealed at Aiken probably next week as well, stay tuned! In honor of the OAKS test, this weeks secret word "perseverance." 

Thanks for all that you do!
