We had a hard-working, successful, optimistic week of PSSA testing for ELA. On Thursday, the students in fourth grade were treated to a movie “Whispers.” We also read Rechenka’s Eggs by Patricia Polacco and saw the process to making pysanky. Ask your child what happened during the All School Assembly today!

Thank you, parents, for the encouragement you gave to your child this week. Several other teachers commented to me on how hard the individual students worked, especially on the TDA portions of their tests.

Also a big thank you to the families who donated some snacks. It was a nice treat to offer the students after the test was finished for the morning.

Next week:
Monday – no school
Tuesday – Regular day of school! Music
Wednesday – PSSA Math, wear sweats, Library Instruction/Book Exchange!
Thursday – PSSA Math, wear bright neon colors, Art
Friday – Fine Arts Day (the best day of the year at Hambright!), no “Phys. Ed.”

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter/Passover/Spring Break with your families!
