Today's Tests
I wanted to drop a quick note and say how pleased I was of the class today on their Math and Science test. As a class, we averaged 89% on each test, which is quite an accomplishment. I would like to thank all the parents and helpers that worked with the students preparing them for these assessments. The hard work payed off!

Students received a study guide for the science test tonight and will receive the one for math tomorrow. Any questions, please let me know.

In fact, it is incredibly rare that all students are able to be met with in reading group for this long a day.
Over the next three weeks, Ms. Hoagland will...
