Thank you for all the unnecessary kindness this week! I am the one who should be expressing gratitude! Thank you all for being so wonderfully supportive and engaging in helping your children succeed in school this year. I recognize that I can’t fully comprehend just how much behind the scenes work goes into getting homework done, learning states and capitals, practicing songs and times tables, and getting out the door with a smile. It’s been a fun year full of growth and milestones- and we still have a month to go!
We finished all of states and capitals regional tests this week- congrats! The students should all be very proud of their accomplishment. The final hurdle is matching and labeling all of the states and capitals. The students aren’t expected to recall landmarks and facts about states on this exam. It will look just like the practice blank map going home today. They will have the sheet with the states and capitals listed from which to copy spelling. The test will be on Thursday, May 24th.
