Well my Three for Thursday has turned into Friday this week. Busy at school and busy at home put me behind this week. PARCC testing for language arts is complete (except for one more session for 4th grade.) Next week 4th and 5th grades will be taking the math tests. Third grade will be taking their math tests after Spring Break. Thanks for supporting your children through this testing process. It has been a learning experience for all of us involved, and the kids have been very patient as we have dealt with technical issues as we transition this year to a computer-based test. Encourage your child to simply try their hardest and do their best. It was less than ideal timing on top of testing this week, but our last Math Olympiad competition was this week. The Math O folks in New Jersey pick the dates before the school year begins so even though it added one more thing to our busy week already, we persevered this week. The kids did great even though they were convinced one of the problems was impossible. See if you can solve it: Jimmy is filling up a pool using a large hose and a small hose. The large hose, working alone, could fill the pool in 3 hours. The small hose, working alone, could fill the pool in 5 hours. The small hose is turned on and allowed to run for an hour. Then the large hose is turned on, and both run until the pool is full. How many hours did it take to fill the pool?. Thursday, March 12, is my last day to have fourth grade language arts/creativity kids. They have their biography projects due that day. They have been warned that they have only two days in class next week (Tuesday and Wednesday) to work on their projects. Please check with your child and see if they need to spend a little time over the weekend getting ahead so they are ready for Thursday. I can't wait to hear all of the amazing facts they have learned about prominent people in Colorado history through their reading and research!
