The Performance Test is scheduled for Thursday, October 30th.


Math: We are currently working on our second module of Unit 2. The test date for Unit 2 is scheduled for Tuesday, November 4th.

The 2’s quiz will take place on Friday, October 24th. We will practice in class, but it is imperative that you also study at home.

NOTES: 

  • It can be cold in our classrooms. Please make sure that your child has an appropriate sweater, sweatshirt (BBS logo on the front) to wear in the classroom. ***Please make sure to label your child’s jacket/sweater/sweatshirt. 

  • Due to rotations (Science, Social Studies, and Writing) going up to 3:00, we ask that they not leave earlier than that time. Of course, we understand if there are Dr. appointments.

  • Don’t forget to send in a snack and water bottle each day. Water bottles need to be screw on tops labeled with their name.

  • Please do not take things out of their binder pockets or “return” side without returning them. We will be using those items in class on a daily basis. This also includes interactive notebooks.
