Week of November 2, 2015


Hello! I hope you all had a great week. I want to thank you for attending parent teacher conferences. It was nice meeting with you and sharing your child’s progress.

I forgot to mention in our WIN note that students will not have a new spelling list go home next week due to Iowa Assessments. 

Also, your child should have brought home a note from Mrs. Priske about taking our class to Cole Library on Tuesday, November 10 from 2:00 to 3:00.

Important Events 
November 3-9- Iowa Assessments
November 10-Cole Library visit (2:00 to 3:00)
November 12-Early dismissal 12:30


Tim Green- Author Visit
We had the pleasure of listening to Tim Green on Wednesday. He had a powerful message for our students. Work hard, be kind, put academics before sports, and READ!



Cooler Weather
October seems to be cooling down quickly. We have been encouraging our students to bring coats to school so that they are dressed for recess outside. It is helpful if your child’s fall/winter gear is labeled with their name.
Also, many items have made their way to the Washington Elementary Lost and Found.  Feel free to look in our lost and found area if your child is missing an item.  Thank you!



Iowa Assessments

We will be taking Iowa Assessments next week. We will be testing for approximately 90 minutes on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (no testing Friday afternoon, only morning) between 10:00-11:00 and 12:45-1:45 each day. 

On Monday, November 9 students will complete the student interest inventory. This will only take about 20 to 30 minutes.

Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep as well as a healthy breakfast each morning.  Remind your child to do their best, but not to stress about these assessments.  

We will be testing in the areas of reading, math, written expression, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, computation, and science.  Since third grade is the first year students take the Iowa Assessments, they serve as a baseline for comparison in years to come.



Halloween Party and Parade

Thank you to those of you who provided party refreshments! We had a fun day celebrating!
