Don't forget---The second semester has begun and your child needs to do 6 AR quizzes each six weeks period.  The minimum of 6 quizzes should be completed by Wednesday, May 16th.  Students are allowed to take quizzes everyday during DEAR time and during novel time.  Remind your child to have the book in the classroom to be able to take a quiz.  The book is needed to type the title to begin testing.  Only one test can be taken per book, so remind your child to do his/her best!!

Classroom Needs:
A big THANK YOU to all the parents who volunteered to help with our upcoming class projects.  We had more volunteers than we needed, which is a great problem to have!!  The projects will be going home with your child this week.  If you receive a project, feel free to contact other parents to help you if needed.  I really appreciate ALL of you for everything you do for us.
