Band (A,C,E days) is Wednesday and Friday this week!! (Hint: put your instrument next to your book bag at night!!) Text Box: Please Note! The Science test was moved to Wednesday this week because we felt our students needed more in school study time. We like to try to balance in school study time and home study time as our students work to become more independent. The SS test will be on Thursday (Orange), or Friday (Blue.) Review sheets will come home tomorrow for the SS test. Any studying counts for 15 minutes of reading. This is a VERY busy week for our students as we get used to new routines and transporting down to the Connell Building. Band instruments now need to come in every A, C, E day as well as lesson days. As Moms who have had kids go through 4th grade, we are encouraging our students to take ownership of this new responsibility. Please (because we know how busy/stressful your mornings can be) encourage your child to be packed and ready to go at night. Chorus will be on B and F days this year. Just to add to all this, Intramurals also starts this week for those students who signed up.
