Weekend Tidbits

• Ice Cream Social TODAY from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
• See more at ruskinpta.weebly.com
• Topic 2 Math Tests were completed today. Students did an outstanding job with a 91% average! This test was different from Topic 1 because it had six fields that needed to be filled in and/or explained with sentences. I'm working on how to print copies of the test for review at home. The program issues review videos and assignments when a student misses problems on their test. Students must complete it online and submit to me that they reviewed the skill.
• Some 49er Field Trip forms did not have a checked YES or NO for consent, so expect them back on Monday (to be returned on Tuesday).
• Thank you to those who have turned in their Emergency Kits. We're only missing a couple now.
• This weekend (and next) at Toys R Us is a cool Lego build event:
  
• 4th Grade Teachers will be out on Monday for grade level planning at the District Office.
• Time for Kids open magazine quiz on Monday!
