Hello parents,
Here are the important points of note for this week.
*Progress reports are being sent home today. (Tuesday, 5.23.17)
*There will be no school this upcoming Monday (5.29.17) in observance of Memorial Day.
*Next Tuesday (5.30.17) is our last Family Fun Night of the year. 4-9pm at Goodberry's and 5-10pm at Milton's Pizza. Please remember to mention Pleasant Union when you go.
*Next Friday (6.2.17) is Field Day from 12:30-2:30 is the weather is cooperative. The make-up rain date is Tuesday, 6.6.17.
*I sent an email earlier today about 5th grade graduation. Please look through that information. The forms (attached on that email this morning) will be coming home with your child today.
*As we are coming closer to EOG's I do have a few notes about those tests.
1. I have attached a pdf with all the 5th grade standards so you can better help your students prepare for the test. Keep in mind that we are expecting fractions to be roughly half of the test, so make sure they know how to work with fractions.
2. If you do not already have EOG dates on your calendar, they are Monday, June 19th through Wednesday, June 21st. We will have Reading on Monday, math on Tuesday, and science on Wednesday.
3. Studies have shown that students perform better when they feel confident in their abilities. In order to help with this, I'm asking that parents write a motivating/encouraging letter to their child for them to open and read on test days. If you would like to participate, please indicate your child's name and which day (math, reading, science) on the envelope and I will put those letters on their desks for them to see on test days. Feel free to send them in at any time before the 19th.
*As always, please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
