Phew! We finally finished out ISAT testing! The students did a wonderful job taking these tests seriously. I am very proud of the effort that each and every student put forth during the testing. I would also like to say a big, "THANK YOU" to the families that provided snacks during ISAT week. The snacks really motivated the students, and they looked forward to it each day. On Friday afternoon, we had a movie party as a reward for the hard work that the students put forth. We watched an animated movie called, Balto. Since the students read a story in reading about Balto, they were excited to see the movie.
Ag in the Class
I sent a note home during the week about supplies that the Ag and the Classroom program needs. I was not sure how many of those notes made it home in one piece, so I decided to mention it on my blog as well! We have been so fortunate to have Ag in the Class come each month to teach lessons. They have given me a list of items that they need in order to keep the program going. We will be having Ag in the Class on Thursday, March 15th, so I would like to have all donations in by that day if possible. The list included the following items:
- Styrofoam bowls
- 7 inch red or orange plates
- Baby wipes
- Gallon size freezer bags
- Styrofoam cups
- Napkins
- 7mm googly eyes
- Scotch tape
- Clothespins
- White frosting
- Raisins
- Candy corn
- Instant vanilla pudding boxes
- Kool-Aid packets- orange line, grape, pink lemonade (NO RED)
- Plastic spoons
- 6 inch plates
- quart size freezer bags
- snack size freezer bags
- 5 oz. plastic cups
- craft glue
- knee high stockings
- construction paper
- pipe cleaners
- chocolate chips
- M&Ms
- peanuts
- chocolate pudding cups
Next week, we will be getting back into our regular routines. What a relief! I would like to remind everyone that the students do not have school on Friday, March 16th. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at: bcalcott@orionschools.com.
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather we are having!
