Fall Break!

10/2/2019

It's almost Fall Break!!!!
We are on our last week of school before we get a week off for Fall Break!!
Fall Break will be a great time to read books for our Corey Peters Reading Challenge. Each student will check out a chapter book from me On Friday before we leave. If they read for 30 minutes each day, they will complete their book by the time we come back. I will then email Ms. Jones and let her know they are ready to take their comprehension test!

When we come back, we will begin with multiplication in math. There will be a multiplication club in the classroom where the students will be able to put their name on the number on the wall to let the class know they have mastered that multiplication table. This will be a fun competition in the classroom!

If you need anything please do not hesitate to reach out!

We are going to ASU on Wednesday September 18th to tour the campus. Students are able to wear ASU shirts and school colored bottoms.
The first 5 permission slips that are received by the front office will be able to chaperone.

On another note..........

September 25th at 4pm and 5:15, we will be having a parent quarterly meeting. This is the first year we are doing conferences this way. The meeting will run somewhat like Meet the Teacher Night. We will be meeting in the classroom and our main focus will be what our students need to focus on based off of the NWEA test. This meeting is mandatory by all parents.

I am super excited to meet this way and really dive in on what our students need by not only me , but you as well.
I hope to see you all there!!

Hello all!
Reading NWEA is here! On Tuesday we are taking our last NWEA test. This is your students time to show how much they have grown this year. We have been and are going to continue to review on Monday before the test. Ask your student what their goal is and what Mrs. Bell will be wearing if our school reaches our goal!

Wednesday is a HUGE day for eight of our classmates. They will be initiated into the Elementary Honor Society! They have worked hard to receive this title. If you see Jania, Troy, Viviana, Jamiyah, Aaliyah, Reyes Katrina or Felicia around, please congratulate them on this huge accomplishment!
For those 8 students, please remember to be at the school on May 1st at 4:30 pm dressed in black and white! I will be there to support you all!

AZ MERIT TESTING=COMPLETE! Next up=NWEA

4/21/2019

WOOOO-HOOOOO!
Your Third grader has officially completed their first year of AZ Merit testing! They all did so awesome showing what they know.
We are now preparing for the NWEA math and reading test coming next week. ***Ask your student what their goals are. We have had a conversation about their goals and we will do so one more time this week before they test. With the NWEA test, students receive their scores right away. it is so awesome to see their faces when they know they have reached their goals.

Science Fair:
Their may have been some confusion with the science fair. If your student wants to participate in the science fair, they will have to complete all of the requirements at home. I know some students have picked partners to work with so I will be giving a little bit of time during the school day so they can work together. Just remember, the majority of this project is done at home.

Writing Portion Complete!

4/3/2019

We have completed the writing portion of the AZ Merit! Woo-hoo!
Today was a very long day with very little breaks. Please make sure to give your student a little extra free time to run around outside, since they did not get a chance to run off their energy or exercise at school today.
Thank you to all of my amazing parents who have donated snacks for the class during testing!! You all rock!
I loved the perfect attendance today! Lets keep it up for the next two weeks as we test so you will not have to make up any tests!
Our next test will be reading on Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th.

Awesome job and rest up!
