End of the Week

We have a few interesting things going on at the end of the week. Some of them involve our class activities and some are just random things.

Thursday, March 19

• Wear Orange - This was originally scheduled for Friday, but is being moved to Thursday. This is for our school wide fairness activity.

• Language Arts Test - We are going to try the new tests available with our reading series based on this weeks story, Hercule's Quest. This test is a little different in that they will be able to take it online and see their results as soon as they are finished. I'm excited to try it out.

• Mineral Point to State - The Mineral Point boys basketball team made it to state in basketball. They will be playing at around 8 p.m.

Friday, March 20

• Half Day! - It's the end of the third quarter already. Students will be dismissed at 12:30.

• Electronics Day - The students have earned their electronics day, and we will do it during the time we usually have P.E. On half days we don't have P.E. because Mr. Allen has scheduling conflicts between the elementary and high school. This seemed like a perfect time for us to have our electronics day. When the students are not using their electronics I would like them to keep them in their desks. I'll lock the door whenever I leave.

• Spring! - Friday is the first official day of spring!

• Wear Red or Badgers Gear - The Badgers play on Friday for the NCAA tournament. Students can wear their red or Badgers gear to school.
