Field Trip Money Needs To Be Paid!

Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying your Spring Break! I sure am! When we come back to school, please remind your parents about the Field Trip to Amazement Square in Lynchburg. If you have not paid for your trip, you need to get that taken care of so we can reserve the bus, the museum, and your buffet lunch at Golden Corral. It will be an awesome trip!!!!!!

Enjoy Your Spring Break!!!!!

SOL Tests Are Quickly Approaching!

myspace icon

Make sure that you are studying EVERY night for your SOL Tests. How can you do that? Review your notes, practice with old papers, go to SOL Practice websites, give yourself review questions and then check your answers, READ every night and make sure you can pick out the parts of the fiction stories AND the 5W's and H from the nonfiction selections. I want EVERYONE to pass the SOL Test, but you have to want it bad enough to work for it! Show us what YOU can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colonial Days Was FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Today we had Colonial Days and learned all about the life of George Washington. We were able to dress up in colonial clothes for pictures, play colonial games, learn about maps and The Declaration of Independence. We also heard and sang some colonial songs to the music of a guitar! It was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the end we played Jeopardy and got new pencils to use in class. What a great time we had!

Are You Working To Get Perfect 600's?????

This year, I would LOVE to see all of the 5th grade students pass the SOL Tests. I think that MANY of them could get perfect scores of 600 on the tests if they are willing to STUDY EVERY SINGLE NIGHT and make sure that they are understanding all of the material we are covering in class. Do not forget to ask questions in class AND review your old notes at home nightly! We are doing our part to teach you; now make sure you are doing YOUR part by studying.

SOL Writing/English Tests THIS WEEK!

On Tuesday and Wednesday (March 4-5) students will be taking the English/Writing SOL Tests. Please remind your child to:
1. Get a good night's rest before the day.
2. THINK about the prompt and take their time on the tests (they are NOT timed).
3. Use good test-taking skills which they have been taught.
4. Take the test SERIOUSLY!
5. DO THEIR BEST!!!!!!
We know that each and every one of them can pass this test with flying colors!
