BUSY FRIDAY!

Yesterday was a whirl of activity: first we had our Team Day for the 3rd nine weeks which was a lot of fun. We watched BOLT which is a really good movie about a little dog discovering that you don't have to be a super hero to have super abilities and to have people who love you. GREAT THEME! We also played "Dance Dance Revolution" and "Rock Band" and had time to talk with friends, use the computers, eat refreshments, etc. Those who did not have enough Team Day points had to stay in detention, but we hope that EVERYONE will work hard this nine weeks to control their behavior, have homework, and do what they need to do in order to participate in the last Team Day.
Then, we had Family Focus Night last night at Taylor Elementary! Families were invited to play games, eat pizza and popcorn, attend our Book Fair, and just spend time have fun! Overall it was a busy and FUN Friday!!!!!

Things To Remember:

1. SOL Writing/English Tests are Tuesday and Wednesday (March 10 and 11th). Come to school ON TIME and with good attitudes! You can do this and make great scores if you take your time and WORK HARD! Be sure to have an AR book with you to read when you finish.
2. Intersession Forms are due tomorrow! Please make sure they are signed and filled out completely. It will be the last Intersession before SOL Testing so there will be a LOT of review games/activities to help give you some much needed practice!
3. March 27th: Family Focus Night from 5-7. The Book Fair will also be there and your family is invited to join us all at Taylor for a night of fun and games!
4. Please note that March 20th is a FULL DAY OF SCHOOL now. It is NOT a Teacher Workday because we have to make up the snow days we missed last week.
5. As the weather gets warmer, students need to remember that it is NOT summer break and they need to continue to control their behavior and they also need to study harder than ever as we head into the SOL Testing season!!!!! This is NOT a time for goofing off and acting silly.

STUDY MATH EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

Ok, 5th-grade, we are heading into the time of year when you need to step up your studying time for Math. You need to be pulling out those old papers and your Math Journal and spending at least 30 minutes every single night studying! We WANT to get PERFECT 600's on that SOL test, right? You have to put in the work, to see the results!

SOL Writing Test Rescheduled!

Due to the snow days, the Writing/English SOL tests have been rescheduled for March 10th and 11th: next Tuesday and Wednesday. Please continue to study your materials and practice your Writing!

Two Snow Days!!!!! ENJOY!!!!

Well we woke up to a beautiful snow this morning (about 6 inches) and then found out we had a Snow Day and one tomorrow too! Enjoy making your snowmen and playing in the snow! Be careful!!!!!! Keep studying a little too!!!!!
