Also, our 2nd round of MAP testing will take place between January 26 and February 20.  More specific dates, times, and test information will be sent home as soon as I have a schedule.  Upon our return, we will work with the students to set goals for their MAP scores.

Finally, around the end of February, we will hold our 3rd Annual Invention Fair (exact date TBD).  Students in grades 3-5 are all required to create their own invention following the district guidelines.  The vast majority of this will take place at home.  This will be the Quint Project.  It will include due dates over the course of a few weeks, so please check here and in your child's homework folder for assignments and due dates.  Specific information, assignments, and due dates will be sent home and posted.

I hope everyone is ready for the second half of the year.  I can't wait to see everyone on Wednesday - I missed you! 

Love, 

Miss Halleck
