Weekly Wrap-Up

Happy Friday, families! We had a great week here in Room 12, and I am so very proud of our students. Today was a long day of Ipad testing, but Ms. Hux led the students through Math and Reading so they would have the most normal day possible. We are thankful for her help! Ipad testing will continue through September 25. Our class discussed the need to work as a team during this time so students can learn and teachers can test. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can return to normal days! :-)

Today Mr. Scott Rigsby came to kick off our "Olweus Anti-Bullying Program." We learned about his story and how he has inspired others to believe in themselves. Students also pledged to include others, not bully, and help people who need it. Oakwood is a great place to be!

Progress Reports and BOG scores went home today! Please review the information with your child so we can help them succeed. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. :-) As soon as Ipad testing is finished, we will schedule parent-teacher conferences to review all the data in person.

Newspapers: If anyone has old newspapers or circulars at home, we will gladly take them off your hands! We are collecting lots of newspaper for an art project in 2 weeks. Thank you!
