A Note From Miss Lusker:
What’s Happening This Week: August 28,2017
Another week is upon us and we have a lot of events coming! Students who attend skate country night will receive a homework pass when they get there! Please continue to check your child’s agenda for homework assignments and upcoming test days. Also, there is no school on September 4th! If everything goes according to plan here is what the following test schedule will look like:
Friday, September 1st: Fact Drill (3rd grade- 0’s and 1’s; 4th grade- 0’s-3’s multiplication AND division… ask your child about my multiplication challenge, an incentive to learn their facts!)
Wednesday, September 6th: 4th grade weathering and erosion test
Tuesday, September 12th: 3rd and 4th grade end of the unit test (common assessment 1)
Wednesday, September 13th- 3rd and 4th grade end of the unit test (common assessment 1)
Please check your child’s agenda and green take home folder daily. Thanks to everyone who has been initialing their child’s agenda! We greatly appreciate that.
Thanks to everyone who came out to Chick-Fil-A spirit night last week. I loved seeing students outside of school! I’m still waiting to find out which homeroom teacher won, fingers crossed!
Early release is on Wednesday, August 30th. Students will start dismissing form school at 12:50 pm.
Skate Country Night on Wednesday, August 30th from 6-8 pm
Both my third and fourth graders will take their first fact drill this Friday. Please make sure your child is studying at least 10 minutes each night. They will know which facts to study if they listen in class. ;)
Shout out to Jonathan Rollins and Landon Landry for being our “Leaders of the Week” last week. They demonstrated excellent leadership, listening, academic skills.
