Thank
you to all of the Wrentham Elementary School parents and guardians who
were able to attend this week's Parent/Teacher conferences. The lines of communication between home and school must always remain open and strong. If
at any point during the remainder of the school year you feel that
there is an area in your child’s education that needs to be addressed,
please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher. We strive to do our best to support the academic, social, and emotional development of your child.
This morning Ms. Downing’s class
participated in a math Easter Egg hunt! Students paired up and solved word
problems hidden inside eggs. There were over 60 eggs hidden and the winning pair
had collected a total of 13 eggs! Congratulations to the high scorers:Brenna and Lindsey!
Our sixth grade classrooms presented their country reports this week. The students did a remarkable job informing visitors about their country.
March Madness Shoot Out
Congratulations to our Final Four teams: Doughty (Jack D., Mr. McGuire, Mr. Donnelly), Ociaglen (Ms. O'Connell, Maria R., Molly G.), Moon Madness (Avery S., Chloe L., Mrs. Moon) and Fownes Line (Ian G., Chris S., Mrs. Fownes). These four teams squared off in the championship round today. After a great battle, Moon Madness won this year's championship. Thank you to Mr. Moon for organizing this tournament and all the participants.
The first wave of MCAS is now complete. We would like to congratulate our students for giving their best effort and applying the lessons and strategies taught by their teachers. Also, student attendance was strong – thank you for your support and help at home. In May, students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade will be taking MCAS exams in Mathematics. Fifth grade students will have an additional MCAS exam in Science & Technology. The dates for the May MCAS are as follows:
Grade 4
May 8 & 9 - Mathematics
Grade 5
May 6 & 7 - Science Technology & Engineering
May 15 & 16 - Mathematics
Grade 6
May 13 & 14 - Mathematics
Students in Mrs. Poirier's class practiced visually
representing decimals by using meter sticks and base 10 blocks. Students worked in pairs to model a decimal number, write
the number as a decimal, as a fraction and draw the number on their own number
line.
A
letter will be sent home on Monday, April 28th offering parents the
opportunity to share information about their son/daughter for next
year’s placement at the Wrentham Public Schools. This
information that you share with us will be used to assist the
administration with the student placement process for the 2014 – 2015
school year. When corresponding
about placement, parents are asked to focus on the type of learning
environment that best meets the strengths and needs of their child. The
administration will place your child in what they feel is the best
educational environment for each student based on a variety of data and
input – your parent narrative being one such piece of information.
