Living Museum Pictures, STAAR test

We had a very successful at Camp Write Along.  I think the kids enjoyed the snacks most of all!  I can't believe that I didn't take any pictures.  :((  Anyway, we are still preparing for our STAAR Writing tests next Tuesday and Wednesday.  Not only will the students have to write compositions, but also revise and edit several passages.  On these 2 days, please do not schedule any doctor appointments nor plan to come to eat lunch with your child.  Our lunch time will probably change due to the tests.  I would like for you to write a note of encouragement to your child for next week.  Please write some sweet words on a piece of paper no bigger than an index card to your child and send it in a regular envelope to me.  You can decorate the note as well if you wish.  I will have the notes on their desk next Tuesday when they enter the room, so I want it to be a SURPRISE! The kids are going to be super nervous about the tests, and I am hoping that some encouraging words from Mom and Dad will make them smile and be less stressed! (Even if they beg and plead, do not tell them what is in the envelope!!!)
Say "cheese!" Spring pictures are this Friday. Students will be able to wear clothes of their choice.
Our Living Museum was a huge success! I hope that the kids enjoyed the evening. It was fabulous seeing the creativity of the costumes. I hope that all the parents enjoyed learning about the many famous Texans.
