Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that it is already May and the students are completing their CST tests. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be the end of the Mathematics section of the test.

The CST is a standardized test that all public school students must take in California. To prepare we have completed and corrected a practice test booklet in school. It covered similar math and language arts questions that are on the test. We also finished and corrected a three part Language Arts and three part Mathematics booklet entitled, "California Content Standards, Practice and Mastery."

Students seemed relaxed today while taking the tests and some remarked that it was easy. I was so happy to hear this! Please continue to make sure your children are well rested and fed before coming to school. It is making a huge difference. Remember that when a child is tired or hungry he or she cannot think.

Sincerely,

Mr. Edwards

MAY DAY

MEMORIAL DAY

Congratulations to the following students for correctly completing the Student Reading Log for your free Six Flags ticket: Brian, Joshua, Idalia (Mr. Luizaga's class), Nahum, Michael, Julianne, Emely, Tenderly, Ashley, Itza, Gabriela, Jocelynne and Keilly. Your tickets have arrived! Congratulations!

In the California Treasures reading program your children are reading from Unit 5, "Growing and Changing." Encourage your child to bring in realia from home to post on our Treasures bulletin board. This can be a baby picture (that might get lost or damaged). We can enjoy looking at how they have changed everyday (unless it gets lost or damaged:)

We are conducting a science experiment related to our Treasures reading unit, "Growing and Changing." Each student planted a sunflower seed in a little paper cup. The cups have been placed under a special sun lamp and the soil is kept moist. Additionally, the consistency and quality of the soil is different in some of the cups. 5 seeds were planted outside in the school garden. We water the seeds outside with natural rain water that has been collected.

Have your child show you their math program by logging on to Pearson Math
