Team Mindcrafters Daily Update - 1-30-15

Dear Parents,

Snow days.  There is some potential for more snow on Sunday that could affect school on Monday.  If we are canceled Monday, please look for an e-mail from your child's teachers regarding what they can be doing at home.  For sure, students will be expected to keep up on their independent reading.  Students also have a Science assignment that is listed below that will be due on Tuesday regardless.  I will have an update of something for Math as well.

Benchmark week.  Students completed winter benchmarks this week and last in Reading, Writing, and Math.  On the whole, students are showing terrific growth.  Look for your child's Math results to come home either today or on Monday.  

State testing.  During some of our computer time we have started preparing students for this year's brand new online state tests. Look for more information about this in the coming weeks.
