Notes from the Classroom
Hello Parents.
Time-Sensitive: Remember to to check out our class blog to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Time-Sensitive: call the WCS office today to get tickets to Friday's Variety Show. Mrs. Powers, Mr. Terko, Ms. Irish, Ms. Trasciatti-Holmberg and I will be performing in our 12th year as the Horizon House Band. Tickets are $6.00 and they will probably sell out by tomorrow afternoon. I'm proud to say, too, that my daughter, Sadie, will be performing in it for the first time!
Just a quick note to say that we are nearly done with our "How-to" writing pieces. Look for them at the beginning of the week on our Kidblogs.
Students in first and second grade also took our annual spring writing assessment called The On-Demand Task where they must respond to a question and write for twenty minutes. We look for good organization of their thinking, a clear introduction/topic sentence, and a clear and compelling conclusion.
Tomorrow (Thursday), students will take a practice NECAP Science test. Next Wednesday, we will administer the Real NECAP Science Test.
In Art/Science work, students from my class have chosen either the Tundra or the Desert, and they are creating Tunnel Books. They're beautiful.
There was no 2nd Grade Math homework this week due to the snow day.
There was no Home School Journal writing this week either -- due to the snow day.
2nd-grade Fundations will have the usual Thursday bi-weekly test tomorrow.
Reading Logs: today, Students began filling out their reading logs from this week, and they took them home to have you help finish filling them out.
Time-Sensitive: Report Cards will be coming home Friday.
Time-Sensitive: between now and April 1st: $7.00 Spring Haircuts for any student attending WSD (boy or girl). The Hairdresser is a long-time supporter of the Williston Schools. Call The Mane House: 3097 Williston Road
(across from Pete's RV). Telephone: 860-1099. Mention "Mr. Bolger." to get the discount.
That's it for now. Have a nice end to your week.
