Of special note: MAP testing is coming up next week. Students are taking an assessment to measure the growth in both Math and Reading they have made since this Fall. The assessments are Monday and Thursday next week, first thing in the morning. Please be sure your child has a decent dinner the night before, along with a light-medium sized breakfast the morning of the assessment. A heavy breakfast "bogs" them down and makes them sleepy. It is important to remember this assessment is ONE indicator of your child's performance. Just think of all the things they learn in and out of school that this assessment does not measure? Seriously, they have grown tremendously and that is why we have Student-Led Conferences this week. They have reflected on this second half of the year and are really looking forward to sharing their new learning.
Next week, we attend a trip to Samarkand as a hands-on, real-life learning experience to understand how people express themselves. Complex is the topic and unique is this opportunity to explore and discover first-hand the rich history of Uzbekistan. We are excited and are sending a reminder note home today with details about the trip. Enjoy the weekend!

If you haven't already, please bring in your personal artifact! Keep reading your May book and maybe you could bookmark a few spots that are exciting that you might want to share during your presentation.
