🍦✨ Four Scoops of Success in 4th Grade! ✨🍦

Ms. White’s 4th grade classes celebrated their fourth week of fourth grade with Four Scoops of Success! 🎉📚

Students created their very own ice cream cones, with each scoop representing something special about their 4th-grade journey:

🍨 Their favorite subject
🍨 Their fourth-grade goal
🍨 What they want to learn this year
🍨 What they have learned so far

What a fun and creative way to reflect, set goals, and celebrate all the learning happening in 4th grade! 💙🐾

📚✨ i-Ready Testing Begins Next Week! ✨📚

Attention, 1st–5th Grade Families!

Next week, our students will begin i-Ready Diagnostic Testing in reading and math. This assessment helps us understand each student's strengths and identify areas where they can continue to grow.

You can help your child do their best by:
✅ Making sure they get a good night's sleep.
✅ Providing a healthy breakfast each morning.
✅ Arriving at school on time.
✅ Encouraging them to take their time and give their best effort.

We are excited to see all the amazing progress our students have made. We know they are ready to shine! 🌟

Good luck to all of our 1st–5th grade students—you've got this! 💙💚
