Thank You PTO

We use mini whiteboards in our class several times a week. Unfortunately the dry erase markers can get very expensive,  as we use them up very quickly! The PTO was able to purchase markers for us, that will hopefully last through the end of the year. They also were able to purchase other items for other classrooms in our school! We just wanted to take a second to say THANKS!

Assessments are OVER!!

We took our final Kansas Assessment yesterday! I appreciate all the hard work and the positive attitudes that the 6th grade has shown over the last 2 1/2 weeks.

Last Chance for Yearbooks!!!

This years Wathena Elementary Yearbook will be the final Wildcat yearbook to buy! If you have not ordered, but would like to they will be $20 and sold through the month of April. Once their quantities are spoken for, there will not be another chance to buy. If you cannot remember of you ordered one or not, please ask me, as I have the list of who has already placed their order.

Thank You

Thank you to the students who participated in the 3 on 3 tournament this weekend. It sounds like it was successful in raising money for the 8th grade Washington DC trip!

Math Assessments

Please do not forget about math assessments which take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:30. Students need plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast! :)

Reading assessments are over!!! Students will get several days to relax before math assessments begin on Monday.

We will be taking the reading assessments Monday and Tuesday morning at 9:30. Please be sure that students get a plenty of sleep the night before and a healthy breakfast!

Kansas Assessments

Tomorrow is the start of the reading assessments for the sixth grade. Please be sure that your child gets plenty of sleep and a healthy breakfast in the morning! They will continue their assessments on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

PowerPoints

Today we are beginning PowerPoints for our next science activity. This is a group project, so everything will be done in class. I will be posting the rubric on my website this week.

Sack Lunch

All students going to Kansas City tomorrow must bring their own sack lunch. They are more than welcome to bring money to buy additional snacks if they'd like. I do warn you that prices at the concession are very high!   

What does the "X" mean?

If you look online at your child's grade and see an "x" for an assignment grade, it just means that your child used a free assignment coupon. They received two for math and two for science. They may only use one each quarter for each subject. (they do have validity dates on them)

Extra Credit

My afternoon class got their books to do the extra credit summary on Thursday. These are due on Wednesday for 15 points!

No Science Test on Wednesday!!!

I have decided to use the students' posters as a test grade for this chapter. So, don't expect to see a study guide this week.

Science Test

Our final science test before the quarter ends will be next Wednesday.

Win for KC

Yesterday permission slips went home, for Tuesday's Win for KC trip. I have already gotten several back, but this is just a reminder that they need to be handed in by Monday.
