Dear Parents,

            It sounds like everyone had a great spring break. We are back in full swing already. We started our science unit on life cycles with some fun activities and experiments this week.

Next week will be a busy week for us. The children will be taking the CRCT on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, April 21, 22, and 23. We will begin testing at 8:00 each morning and finish by about 10:30. If the children are late, they will not be allowed into the classroom and will remain in the office until testing has concluded for that day. Please keep the following in mind so your child feels rested, relaxed, and unstressed on those days. Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep each night before the test and has a healthy breakfast each morning. Several of our parents have volunteered to send in a healthy snack to share with the class during our break between test sections. The children will also be given the opportunity to have their own snack from home after testing is done each day, so continue to send that each day as well. PLEASE do not schedule any appointments for your child on testing mornings.

We had a wonderful day at the Tellus North Georgia Science Museum on Tuesday. I hope your child told you about all the activities they participated in and the interesting things they saw. Thanks to Mrs. Ealy for being our chaperone. We also had a guidance lesson with Mrs. Craycraft this week and went to the computer lab today. Thanks to Mr. Hampton for coming in this afternoon to share a story and a special treat.

            Have a great weekend!

                                                                        Sincerely,

                                                                        Mrs. Graska J
