Team Mindcrafters Daily Updates 3-14-17

Parents,

Dine Out Night.  This is tonight at Chowder's N' Moor.  We had incorrectly listed it as being Thursday in yesterday's e-mail.

Pi Day Challenge.  Today (3/14) is Pi Day.  To celebrate math and have a little fun, students have been challenged to memorize as many digits in Pi as they can.  They each were given a sheet with the first two hundred digits to use to study. The top four students in each homeroom will be rewarded with a slice of one of Mrs. Pransky's homemade pie.  (see below😋)



Testing - The students will be taking their second ELA test tomorrow.  Please help your child to be well rested and well nourished on the day of the test so they can perform at their best.  It is also wonderful to send your child off to school with an encouraging word.

Snacks - In order to make testing times work, schedules have been changed this week.  One big change is our lunch time.  We eat an hour later this week (switching with 3rd grade's time) and students are bound to be hungry before lunch.  We would like to encourage students to bring a healthy snack on the non-testing days.  Cheese is provided on test days, and this should help.
