Notes:
--NWEA test reports will come home with grade reviews on April 30.
--We will be taking the ISTEP+ practice test on the computers this week. ISTEP+ testing will be next week.
--Students need to be ready to give their biography speeches on Wednesday. They will NOT use their costumes/props then; those only will be worn on Friday.
--Our wax museum will be on Friday from 9:00-10:00. Parents and grandparents are invited to stop by the gym and listen to student presentations. Students will be able to change into their costumes, but they could also come to school wearing them. They can change into their wacky day clothes afterwards.
--Remember to bring a lunch on Friday if you did not order a pizza. If anyone would be willing to help with sides and drinks for our lunch that day, please let me know ASAP.
