Week 33

PHEW! We can breathe a little easier now that the major exams are completed. There is still the New York State Science test on June 6th. While the results of that test will be include in your child's testing history, it's  not considered in promotional criteria.
     The new tests were more challenging but I was pleased with the resolve and persistence our children showed. Everyone worked carefully and took their time. Regardless of results, every child tried their very best.
     We are moving forward and focusing on getting ready for our Shakespeare performance! The performance will take place on June 22 at 1:45pm. Please save that date if you are planning to attend.

Here are next week's notable events:

• We meet the Shakespeare teaching artist on Monday! Scott Lilly is a professional stage actor. He worked with the fourth grade last year on our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. This year we will be studying Twelfth Night.
• We are headed to the Armory on Tuesday!
• We are also working with Tor on Tuesday and Thursday. The Music concert for 4th graders will be @ 6:30. A letter was sent home last week with more details about dressing for the performance. 

And lastly,
The answer to the poll question: If 4x5-10> 8X,  then X would equal 1.
Have a great weekend!
