Week 30

April 18-22 NWEA ELA testing dates: April 25, 26, and 27 Math testing dates: May 3, 4    I try hard to make this a nonthreatening experience.  However, it is important that the children take the testing seriously so that we get the best information possible.  Please discuss this with your child and encourage them to do their best.  Many will need to be reminded that it’s not a race! Additionally, please do what you can to be sure your child is at school on those days! Mr.  Allen’s Last Day Mr. Allen’s presence in our classroom has been overwhelmingly positive.  He has been a huge help to me, but more importantly to our Firsties!  The time he has spent working with and nurturing the kiddos these last months has been invaluable.  His last day with us is Wednesday.  Since he won’t be with us on Tuesday we will spend time making him some special things.  I’ll bring a treat for everybody on Wednesday to have a bit of a sendoff party...

  January 31 - February 4 Exciting News I am thrilled to share that we will have a student from Western Michigan University’s College of Education joining us in the role of Pre-Intern for the next few months.  His name is Anthony Allen. He will join us all day on Mondays and Wednesdays.  In this role he will observe my teaching and get to know the children.  Over time he will take on additional responsibilities such as instructing small groups, lesson planning, teaching whole group lessons, and trying out all the different things he’ll need to do during his primary internship and subsequent teaching career. When I shared this news with the class they were excited, but a few expressed concerns that things will be very different.  I reassured them that I am not going anywhere! Mr. Allen and I will be working as a team.  In my view we are adding to our classroom far more than we are altering it.   Greeting from Mr. Allen Hi parents!  My name is ...
