100th Day and PARCC, Hooray!


     On Wednesday, February 18th, Kindergarten students in Ms. Sessin's and Mr. DiFilippo's classes celebrated their 100th day of school.  In addition to all the fun and interesting things our five- and six-year-olds do on a daily basis, they also made some really cool 100th day glasses.  They had a great time coloring and cutting their "special specs"  and then going to their teacher to have a custom-cut headband stapled on to hold them in place.  




     We also kicked off the first round of PARCC assessments on Wednesday the 18th.  Fourth graders successfully used laptops to complete the first section on the English Language Ats test.  If you want to learn more about PARCC, here is a link to their website:  http://www.parcconline.org/.  Based on the snow days, we have two sections of 4th grade testing to make up.  Here are the other planned testing dates:

February 25, 26, 27:  5th Grade English Language Arts
March 3, 4:  4th Grade Math
March 5, 6:  5th Grade Math
March 10, 11:  3rd Grade Math
March 12:  4th Grade Social Studies
March 13:  5th Grade Science
March 16-20:  Make up testing

If you have any questions about the statewide tests, please contact your child's teacher or the main office.
