State Testing Information

Hi parents!
Here is some important information from our school regarding state testing.  I have been asked to share this with you.  

Students in grades 3-5 will begin their state testing when we return from spring break.  Students in the intermediate grade will be assessed in literacy and math using the state CMAS assessments, or the Colorado Measures of Academic Success.  Fifth graders will take an additional science assessment. The testing schedule is shown below.  Please refrain from scheduling outside appointments during all testing times.  We also recommend that students get plenty of rest and eat a healthy breakfast during the testing window.

Testing out a New Google App!!

As you saw on your kiddos' Seesaw reflection, earlier this week we had the opportunity to participate in Google Expeditions AR Pioneer Program and explore an app that has not yet been released.  Here are some photos I took to share with you. Your child had the opportunity to go "inside" the solar system and investigate planets, the sun, and the moon.  This helped provide background knowledge for our upcoming unit entitled, "Sun, Moon, and Stars".
