Nature of Science Test.  You can view your child's test results here.  Mrs. McNamara's/Pokrzywa's students can view their results here.  The last chance to study and retake the test to raise this grade is tomorrow.  Any student may retake the test if they would like to improve.

1st Quarter Math Goal.  Our first quarter math goal is to demonstrate fluency of addition and subtraction facts in the Math Facts in a Flash program.  Students who reach this goal by the last day of the quarter will earn an ice cream party at lunch from Mr. Pransky.  Please continue to practice basic facts at home.  There are still about two weeks left for students to meet this goal!

Quarterly Reading Challenge.  To encourage students to go above and beyond their quarterly goal, students have incentives to reach 125%, 150%, and 200% of their AR goal.  In the week following each quarter's end, all students who reach 200% or more will be invited to a pizza lunch with Mrs. Dressel!
