A Note from Mrs. Fink
Happy Constitution Day!
– The birth of the US Constitution Sept. 17, 1787 This week the students learned all about our Nation’s
symbols. They also learned more about the Pledge of
Allegiance and what all of those fancy words really mean.
We discussed what a constitution is and why it is important
that we have one. We also created and signed our very
own Classroom Constitution.
We had a chance to work on one of these projects with
th
our 4 grade buddies from Mrs. Rose’s class. This is our
second time meeting with our buddies. We will be doing
activities once a month with them on Early Release days.
The kids really seem to enjoy interacting with these older
students
We also completed both the Math and Reading MAP tests
this week. These are long tests that require a lot of
perseverance and I have to tell you how proud I am that
the kids were able to focus and do their best work. I will
be sharing these results with you at Parent/Teacher
conferences in October.
On Tuesday morning the kids will be taking both a vision
and hearing test. You will be receiving a report that tells
you if they have passed this screening, or if further
examination is required.
Remember
to Read 15-20 minutes each night
