Student Update

Hello all,
Just want to let everyone know where we are at with the semester and school year.  First off, the kids have been tremendous since coming back from Holiday.  This can be a difficult transition time for them and they have been great.  We have been staying very busy and the kids have been asked to start working like 2013 3rd graders!  They are rising to the challenge.

Here are dates and events that are coming up...

- January 15 Dibels Testing
         *students will take their second portion of Dibels (Reading) Test.  I know you already do, but keep encouraging your children to stay busy reading.  Have them find some time at the end of the day to read for 15 - 20 minutes.

- January 16 STAR Testing
         *students will take their second portion of the STAR (Reading) Test.  This is the test that adjust their AR book levels. (e.g. Level 3.1 - 4.2)

- January 17 Students visit Wel-Life (9:00am-10:00am)

- January 18 End of Quarter (More importantly to a 3rd grader) End of 2nd Quarter AR
         *some have not gotten their AR Goal yet, ask them if they have!

Thanks and Have a Great One.
Mr. Doxtad
