MSP TESTING STARTS NEXT WEEK
Next week marks the beginning of our MSP testing. This is very exciting! We have been working towards dominating these assessments all year, and it will be great to start showing how much we know!
Important tips for success on the MSP:
1. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before each assessment.
2. Make sure your child gets a solid breakfast on the morning of each assessment.
3. If you can send your child to school with a healthy snack on MSP days, that would be great!
4. Reassure your child that they will be just fine! They are ready and will do great. Kind of like that one show on Travel Channel says: In the battle of Man vs. MSP, Man Wins!!!

WHAT ABOUT HOMEWORK?
On the weeks where we are MSP testing, I do not give homework. I want the kids to spend their evenings relaxing and spending time with family. So, there is no homework for this next week.
CLASS PICTURES
Class pictures for 4th grade is on Wednesday 4/26. This will not disrupt our Reading MSP.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Many thanks!
