Families of Room 31 ~
Just a quick shout out to our students. This morning, from 9:15 - 11:15, they worked diligently on their MOCK / PRACTICE ELA MCAS. We were SO PROUD of their effort. Walking around the room, it warmed our hearts to see the thoughtful planning they put into their essays. Although they did not complete all of the multiple choice and writing, it truly gave ehm an understanding of the stamina and effort they need to put forth in the near future. Fingers crossed it goes this well when we take the actual MCAS on April 8th and 9th.
Also... thanks for those whom have already sent in their $5.00 or slime / squishy items. For those whom have not sent this in, the deadline is March 18th. This donations goes a long way in helping to create baskets to raffle at out upcoming ice cream social on March 27th. The profits from this and other fundraisers help in costs towards items such as the buses for our upcoming field trip in May and the recent author visit (Victoria J Coe), whom we had the privilege of spending time with last week.
Lastly, the next school store is Friday March 13th. Please make sure the students have sent in any completed Reading / Math slips necessary. They need to hand in 5 of each by the end of April.
Warmly,
Miss Finneran & Mrs. Mount
