Track Meet

The John Hall Elementary Track meet will be held this Friday, May 6th, at St. Joseph High School at 11:30.  The meet will last until 2:00. All third, fourth, and fifth grade students will participate in four events.  Third graders do a standing long jump, a 60 M dash, a running long jump, and a 100 M dash.  In addition, each class from all three schools will compete in a 400 M relay race.  Mr. Pfahler has selected four boys and four girls who will represent our classroom by running in this event.  We’d love to have you join us at the track meet if you are able!


Multiplication

This week we will begin our next multiplication challenge...ice cream!  Please have your child begin reviewing their multiplication facts.  The ice cream challenge will be very similar to the pizza challenge we did in January, but instead of slices, students will earn ice cream scoops and toppings. We will celebrate everyone's hard work to learn their multiplication facts with an ice cream party at the end of the year. :)


Technology Festival

The Ren Baldwin Technology Festival will be held on Friday, May 6th, at the St. Joseph High School. Come see the many ways our students use technology in the classroom.


Spring Weather

As temperatures begin to warm up, please remind your child that they will need a coat for recess if the temperature has not reached 60 degrees.  If they are playing and get warm, they are asked to tie their coat around their waist.


Testing Continues this Week!

We will begin NWEA math testing on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  Please be sure your child’s computer is fully charged the night before.  In addition, please ensure they get plenty of rest and a good breakfast the morning of the test.  Students have as much time as they need to take this test.  Anyone that still needs to complete their test will finish on Thursday. Here are the dates for the remainder of our testing sessions.  Please try to avoid absences or appointments on these days:  


  • M-Step Math - May 17th and 18th
