February Reminders

Tuesday, February 12 & Wedsday, February 13 are the STAAR Ready math & reading tests for all 3rd graders.  STAAR Ready is just what it sounds like ... an assessment prior to the STAAR that helps students, parents & teacher gauge student readiness with regards to the curriculum to be tested in May.  It is a good practice for the students, and it is simply one tool to help guide instruction for the remainder of the school year.  It is very important that your child is at school on these days.  I treat the testing environment like that of May, so students can know what to expect.  Remind your child to relax & be confident.  We have worked hard in class & you have worked hard at home too. This is simply a time for your child to show off what they know so far in 3rd grade. 

Thursday, February 14, from 2:05 - 2:45 PM is our classroom Valentine's Day party.  Thank you to those that have already signed up to provide treats for our party.  If your child would like to bring cards for their classmates, please be sure they bring enough for each member of our class.  We have 20 students.  A list of first names went home in last week's and this weeks HW cover page. 

There will be no school for students on February 18 & 19 due to RRISD-wide, staff development days. 

I will be going on maternity leave in the next few weeks. A Meet/Greet with our Long Term Sub Cindy Delong will be happening soon. Please be patient as we’re looking at possible dates and a time to do this. 

Thank you
