WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
A BIG Thank you for making teacher appreciation week fantastic! I appreciate that you took the time out of your busy schedules to make me feel special.
We had a great week last week. Our field trip to the Bob Bullock Texas History Museum was a success, even though we had some bus issues early on. The students did a great job being patient while waiting for the extra bus and then did an amazing job learning about Texas. One of the highlights was the 4D Star of Destiny Movie. Ask your child about the snake bites. Thank you to all of our chaperones also. The chaperones definitely helped make our trip go smoothly.

STAAR Testing this week: The third and fourth grade students will take the math test on Monday and the reading test on Tuesday. Fifth grade students will take the science test on Wednesday and make-ups will be on Thursday and possibly Friday. Visitors will not be allowed on campus during testing. Free breakfast will be served on testing days.
Thank you for encouraging your children to do their best during the tests. Remind them to reread the questions, reread the passages, prove answers, and think carefully. Taking notes, underlining, highlighting, and drawing pictures can help understanding. Taking breaks is important. They can put their head down, go to the bathroom, or have a healthy snack to help them refocus and re-energize to keep working hard. Be sure that the students go to bed early and are prepared to put forth their best effort and show what they know. They are going to do well.
Parent Teacher Student Conferences-You will receive a sign up genius soon for conferences. Your child will lead the conference and will discuss his/her progress this year.
Flip Flop Drive-The FCE Service Club is leading a Flip Flop Drive for people in Honduras. My daughter, Emma, and I will travel to Honduras in August to deliver the flip flops and help the children in the Copprome Children's Home and the surrounding villages. We are very excited to go, but we need your help. Please donate flip flops. All sizes are needed. Our goal is to collect 300 pairs of flip flops. Thank you in advance for your donations.

The winner will be announced on Friday and the entire class will be awarded a prize.

Students are also encouraged to plant the Sunflower seeds given out at the last Walk and Bike to school day with their family to show how we love our planet Earth.
