Hello Moose,

As I write this the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students are buzzing with excitement about the Books in Action Party tonight at SES. This party is associated with the Massachusetts Children's Book Award challenge that Ms. Lobenstine leads in our school. Students in the other Union 28 schools participate too. Students in all Union 28 schools who have read at least 5 out of the 25 books get an invitation to come to en evening of fun, games and food based on the MCBA books. It is QUITE the event. Thank you to Ms. L for her amazing leadership, enthusiasm and hard work with this event and process.

Next week the 5th grade class will perform their Sojourner Truth play on Tuesday and then they are going on a Sojourner Truth walking tour field trip on Wednesday. A School Committee meeting takes place on Thursday and the Duffy School of Irish Dance will perform for us on Friday! We have several students performing with them!

An MCAS schedule will be shared with families in grades 3-6 next week. The testing will begin in April. Students will have 2 sessions of testing in Math and ELA ( 5th grade has science too). The tests will be on the computer. We do not emphasize or teach to these tests. We have a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. If you have any questions regarding state testing, please contact me.

Don't forget to turn your clocks forward for daylight savings this weekend! We lose an hour of sleep, but gain sunlight! I'll take it!

Jackie
