MEAP begins

We had a great first week of the MEAP. The children did a wonderful job staying focused and doing their personal best. I know that they appreciated no homework, and have one more blissful week! Many people have asked when they will get the results. They should arrive in the spring, just in time for conferences. Speaking of conferences,…fall conferences are coming soon! They will be November 12th-14th. More information will be coming in the future about securing a specific time slot for you.

Spelling: We did a set list, but due to it being a short week, if your child would like to retake their test for a better score, they may do that on Monday.
Math: We are almost done with Unit 2 and will be taking the test next week!
Science: We are finishing our science unit on the human body. The children enjoyed learning about the brain with Mrs. Osborn, the lungs with Mrs. VanderWerp, and the digestive system with Mrs. Nyeholt.
