Goodall Update 2-4-2016


 

February 4, 2016

 

 

The 100th Day of School was a great success!  We had somany cool activities to do!  Thank you to everyone who sent snacks and helped with projects.  We appreciate you!

 

Goodall Overnight-The Overnight has been scheduled for April 7th-8th.  We will be traveling to Oklahoma City to visit the zoo and Camp Dakani.  We have scheduled a parent meeting for Tuesday, February 23rd at 6:00 p.m in the Goodall area. We will be discussing committees and the tentative schedule.  Please attend so that you can sign up for a committee or be a committee chairperson.  We look forward to seeing you!

 

Valentine Cards-The Goodalls will be handing out Valentine cards on February 11th.  We will distribute them to Family groups and in homebase areas.  Please have your child sign the cards, but please do not address them to certain people.  This will make handing them out much faster.  Put the  cards in a baggie labeled with your child’s name.

We will hand out cards in homebase areas on the morning of February 11th.  After we finish homebase areas, children who have friends in other areas may hand those out.  Families have an average of 14 children plus the teacher. Below is a list of Goodall teachers and the number of students in each homebase.

MAP testing-We will begin administering the Winter MAP test starting next Monday.  The students will take a Reading and Math test.  Please be sure that they are well rested and that they have a good breakfast.
