AMP and SBA Testing
We are back to business as usual this week, and we will also be doing some test preparation for the statewide SBA and AMP tests next week. Our dates are: Tuesday, March 31 (English/Language Arts), Wednesday, April 1 (Math), and Friday, April 3 (Science). We will have a nice art project to work on in the afternoons of the test days and homework will be at a minimum. Please remember that the kiddos should have a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast each morning. These details make a big difference! Please make sure that your kiddos are in school and on time during testing days.

If you are interested in volunteering on a field trip, you must be cleared with the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District...see me for a packet. If you would like to simply help out in class or volunteer, just let me know, and we can arrange it so!
It's a good life!
