During the two week testing window, we do not assign homework. You will find out more about that in the letter coming home soon. Our school will operate in testing mode for those two weeks. Students must remain inside classrooms and be considerate of those who are still testing until the all-clear announcement. Pretty much that means, we cannot do anything noisy. So we'll read daily when we complete our testing (within our classroom) until the announcement is made.
The media center will be closed during the two weeks of testing. As a result, I will be asking students to get two chapter books to last them an entire week. Many of them recently moved to a higher level and this will give them a chance to try it out. Students are invited to share a review/recommendation on Fridays. We call them "book commercials". Some feel more comfortable making a few notes as they read to remind them of really good parts they want to share. Sharing is not required, but is encouraged. :)
Difficult as it is to believe, we only have 27 days left in this school year! The media center will close about two weeks before school is out in order to get all books in and inventoried. This means we will only check out books two more times (April 13 and April 20). If you have misplaced a library book, please take care of it as soon as possible. The lost ones will have to be replaced. It will need to be cleared up before awards days and the end of the year, as you will not be allowed to receive your awards if you owe for a lost book.
Until next time, HAPPY READING!
Mrs. Richardson :)
