Toucan Squawk, May 14 - 18

Hello families!  It's finally the last full week of school- unbelievable!  We've had a fairly busy week- finishing tests and projects, all the while keeping our heads on straight as we're counting down the days.  The kiddos have been SO busy, and SO well-behaved this week.  After being in rows for several weeks, I just couldn't help it but I put the class back into groups today. 

WOW- what an amazing day it was!  Can I say it again?  WOW!  They were so polite, respectful, and patient with each other.  They were also quietly working when the task called for it, and was able to quiet their voices when they got too loud.  I was very impressed.  :-D  

If the class keeps this up, they will be earning their Free Time on Friday, as well as a visit to the prize box.  I'm so very proud of their maturity these past couple of months- mostly because they all have realized a few things about responsibility and respect.  Because of this growth in behavior, the class as a whole earned an extra 5 minutes for Friday.  I know they are hoping they can keep it- everyone was just so excited to hear they had earned both!

The kiddos will finish taking their final STAR Math and Reading tests this week.  My plan is to send the reports home with them next week.  However, at this moment, we as teachers have not been informed by the school district if we are sending home the report cards next Thursday or if they will be mailed home after school gets out.  Either way, report card going home with the students or not, they will be taking home their STAR reports next Thursday.
