And We're Back...

Sorry for the lag in posting.  The holidays and the goofy Indiana weather have taken their toll.  Hopefully, I will be back on track and keep you all in the loop.
Some quick shout outs:

• Congrats to Joya, our December Student of the Month.
• Happy Half Birthday to Owen, Frederick, and Karsten!  We will be celebrating their summer birthdays this month! 
• Happy Birthday to Ashton, who has a January Birthday!
• Thanks to all who helped send Mrs. Stuckey off into retirement in style.  I know she was truly touched by all the love and well wishes, along with donations to the Food Bank and the Ronald McDonald House.

Mid-Year Primary MAP Testing

During the week of December 12-16, the kindergarten kiddos will be taking their mid-year Primary MAP tests. There are 4 parts to this test and we will take 1 part Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  The times we take the test varies each day...some we take in the morning and others we take in the afternoon. 
The purpose of this round of testing is to help us monitor the kids' learning growth since the beginning of the year.  We will be using the information gathered to help guide instruction and see that your child is making appropriate learning gains.
Some things you can do to help your child "prepare":

• Get a good night's sleep!  
• Eat breakfast!
• Remind them to take their time, listen and do their best!
