Dear Parents/Guardians,
Beginning the week of August 27th, students in my class will participate in benchmark screenings provided by Fast Bridge Learning. Fast Bridge is District 157-C’s universal screening instrument. This assessment will be administered in the fall, winter and spring to help teachers determine which students are likely to meet the end of the year learning goals, which students may require intervention and help to determine advanced and honors placements for the following school year. This computer based assessment measures performance in reading and math. Individual fall results will be sent home at the beginning of October after all students have been tested. I look forward to working with your child this school year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vega

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
Birthdays are celebrated in numerous ways often with gifts, cards, and possibly a party. Please keep the following in mind when considering how to distribute birthday invites. Invitation Reminder: We never want to have a child feel left out or have their feelings hurt by not receiving an invitation to a party. Even as adults, we know the emotional hurt from being excluded. This is why we highly discourage the passing out of invitations at school. The only exception is if you are inviting the whole class and the invitations are distributed by your child’s teacher. Invitations are never to be distributed by a student or parent.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Quarter 1 Curriculum:
MATH- EUREKA Module 2: Multi-Digit WHole Number and Decimal Operations
Science: Matter and Its Properties
This week, students will investigate the question “Why do things explode?” Students will create their own (small) explosions by combining vinegar and baking soda in a plastic bag. Then, they developed models to explain how gas bubbles caused the bag to inflate and pop.
You can encourage your child’s curiosity at home! Watch this video of dry ice soap bubbles together: http://safeyoutube.net/w/gGzc. (You can even try making dry ice bubbles yourself using dry ice from the grocery store!)
