Week of Conferences

This past week found us very busy with different things at OES. We began CogAt testing, which shows us what your child knows and how they learn and teachers use this as an instructional tool. The district also uses these scores to see if your child qualifies for the Gifted & Talented program that begins in 3rd grade. We will take the final 3 days of the test next week. We also visited the Book Fair, which they were really excited about. I'm so glad books excite them! I feel the same way!! On Wednesday, they got to dress as royalty in celebrating our book fair. Everyone looked regal and fabulous!

This was also the week of our student-led conferences.  I thought the students did really well discussing their behavior as well as their strengths and weaknesses with parents. I love how they were honest and took ownership of their learning and I hope you enjoyed it as well. Please contact me anytime you have a question or concern about what is going on in our class.

Awards Day is Tuesday at 9:30 for those that made All As/As & Bs Honor Roll, so we hope you can join us!
Our field trip is this Wednesday! Please read the information coming home today about important details and a release form for items your child may bring on the bus. I will send another reminder home on Tuesday as well.
This week is also Red Ribbon Week. I'm sure I'll have a lot of pictures to share next week with all of the activities going on. Please refer to your child's homework sheet or the red sheet sent home last week as to what is going on each day.
I hope you all have a fabulous week!
