The end of the year and all of the fun that goes with it has snuck up very quickly on us! In this post you will find a lot of the information you will need to make sure your fourth grader closes out his or her Farley experience with a bang!
Math MCAS
We begin the second round of MCAS testing this Friday and finish it up next Wednesday. Please help your child by enabling them to get a good night's rest and a good breakfast. Students brought home a list of strategies that they have been working with most of the year to discuss with families tonight. With our Growth Mindset philosophy this year, students have learned that success comes when our effort is effective. This includes using strategies we have learned. Thank you for your support!
Ecotarium Field Trip
We are headed to the Ecotarium on May 22nd. Please make sure that all permission slips and money are sent in to school this week. On the day of the field trip, please have your child bring a bag lunch, dress in layers, wear sneakers, and sunscreen. Students do not need to bring money or electronics. We are still in need of chaperones, the more the merrier. Chaperones may have to drive themselves and are responsible for the $12.00 admission fee. Please let me know if you are able to join us!
Library Walk
We are planning a walking field trip to the Hudson Public Library and then on to Wood Park for a picnic on June 10th. While at the library, students will be able to jump start their summer reading and get a library card if they do not already have one. We will be looking for chaperones for this field trip as well. Stay tuned for more information!
Success Day
Success Day is on June 17th from 1- 2 PM and is a day where we invite families and special people in each year to see the hard work we have been doing. Our focus will be on the research projects students have been doing about the different regions in the United States. This is a wonderful opportunity for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other special people in your child's life to join us!
Time Capsule Closing Ceremony
This is the final culmination of your child's Farley experience. It will be the last day of school at 9:00 AM. If you have not already, please find a smaller plastic or cardboard container for your child to begin putting items into. Lists of ideas were sent home, if you need another list, please let me know. The week leading up to the Closing Ceremony, we will ask that the capsules be sent to school where we will add to the items in it. On the day of the Ceremony, we will close the capsules and students will put them someplace safe at home and will not open them until they graduate from High School. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Technology
We began using a cart of laptops in our class today to do some research. The pictures show some very engaged students, don't you think? We are so lucky to have so many wonderful resources at our school!
