First week of school

What a fantastic first week!! Our year is off to a great start. Hopefully next week we will get a chance to get to know each other better with some activities and community building. Have a great long weekend.

Testing
	By Shalaine Root on 8/29/2007

Holy Moo Cow!!! Today was crazy with our ERB testing, however the good news is that we are almost done with this testing. Tomorrow we will be doing the math sections. The sixth graders have the option of using a calculator for the second section if they so wish. Friday we will get a chance to do some team-building and group work. Next week we start our diagnostic testing for our needs-based grouping. I know it's a bunch of testing, however we want to make sure we have a pretty good picture of the kiddos as we place them in the needs-based groups.

Welcome to a great school year!!

Hello all! I was glad to get to meet some of you at "Meet the Teacher" and to get to see some of our returning 6th graders as well. I'm so excited for our year together. I know that we will be learning about many new topics and having fun too. Enjoy your weekend and I will see you bright and early Monday morning.
