March Madness

Your child will take the district benchmark test in language arts and mathematics this week beginning on Wednesday. Testing will end on Friday. Please make sure you child comes to school everyday and on time.




We will begin to bring addition flash cards home this week. Your child is expected to learn these addition facts by memory and with automaticity. Each week we will add on to the group.
