They're here! It is finally assessment time. The children have been working hard all year in preparation for this week. There is 2 assesments: 1. Reading Comprehension and 2. Writing. The first part of this week will be used to review reading and writing strategies. I feel they are ready and I have reassured them that they are ready. How can parents help? Here's how: 1. Make sure your child is at school for the next 2 weeks. Any time missed may put them behind and extra time is not alloted. If   your child falls ill for more than a day, please contact me after class hours.2. Make sure your child gets to bed at a good time each school night.3. Make sure your child gets a good breakfast in the morning. If you are running late, remind them to have breakfast at school. Attendance, a good rest and a full belly will all help your child perform to the best of his/her ability. Don't "stress out" over your child's performance. Instead, encourage them each day to do their best and they will:) Thank you for your support during this busy time.

Congratulations to all the boys and girls at Croft for the great job they did representing our school during the Music Festival. We have brought home the Stars of the Festival award and earned a standing ovation last Friday night. I was extra proud of the boys and girls from my class for being patient while we waited to go on and wonderful performers on stage. It was a pleasure to be there with you:)
