their hard work!

and possessive nouns

*Spelling assessment on 4/5; Reading assessment on 4/8*

Unit of Study:

The students will demonstrate an understanding of the role of goods

and services and supply and demand in a community. People's choices

affect the types of goods and services that are produced as well as the

price of those goods and services.

SPRING MAP TESTING FOR 2ND - 5TH GRADE

Reading & Math MAP Testing is scheduled for April 3 - 10th. Each classroom

will test on two days during that testing window (Second Grade: Reading

on April 4 at 9:00, Math on April 9 at 9:00).  The MAP test is administered

in the Fall and in the Spring to measure each student’s academic growth.

Please ensure that your child is in attendance on their scheduled testing date.   

There will be one day for makeup testing, but students perform much better when

taking the test with their own class and teacher.
