Dear Parents,

In a few weeks we will begin the Iowa Test of Basic Skills.  We will spend time completing practice tests, so they will have a better understanding of the testing procedure.  You may have noticed that recent reading tests had a different format.  The children filled in a “bubble sheet”, similar to that of the ITBS, as a practice.  We will continue with this practice for the next few weeks.

         This year's school musical, “A Little Night Magic”, will be held April 29th at 6:30 p.m.  We have begun working on our songs and it should be an exciting evening.  If there is some reason that your child will not be here, please let me know soon.

Basal Reading: pp. 172-173; 174-197

Multiplication/Division: 9             Review:   2     3     4         5    7   

Memory work (due Thursday):

The Apostle's Creed The Second Article (continued)

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,                   and the Word was God.  He was with God in the  beginning.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
