Our class is very lucky to have such a wonderful Paraprofessional in our classroom.  She just recently helped me trace ALL of the students for our Flat Stanley project.  Mrs. Wilson helps the students with whatever they may need help with.  Her effort and time is valuable to the success of each child.  I am very fortunate and lucky to have Mrs. Wilson as my paraprofessional this year and for many years to come.

Conference Week is March 15th - 19th.  The conference will be a 40 minute student led conference. Your child will take you to a Reading, Writing and Math station.  The last station will be with me to discuss your child’s progress.  Each station will be 10 minutes.  A letter will be sent home in the new few weeks with your child’s day and time. 

Daily Schedule has changed. Please look over our revised schedule.

 Our school’s annual Bids For Kids auction will be on Saturday, March 27^th at Round Hill Country Club. This event helps raise the necessary funds to keep our school running. I truly appreciate everyone’s support during this event. I will be attending this event with my husband and volunteering my time to sell raffle tickets for the beautiful diamond jewelry. Your child began working on their auction project. A big thank you to Mrs. Vorous and Mrs. Thompson on ALL the work they have done to make this project memorable. I will email you to let you know when you can see and purchase this auction project.

Star Testing begins the end of April and will last until the beginning of May. I will let you know of the exact dates as soon as I have them. The testing will last 2 weeks, and will most likely be given in the morning. The students will be given test preps during the middle of March and April as part of their homework. The test preps will help them become familiar with how the questions are written, and will also help them with their bubbling. The state will be sending us a practice test to work on 1 week before the test is administered. All content on the test is material that we have learned in 2^nd grade. Much of the test is read to them, with the exception of stories that they will have to read, and then answer comprehension questions about the story read. The best way to prepare for this test is to go over the test preps, and to make sure your child gets plenty of rest and a healthy breakfast daily. 

Brrrrrrrr it's COLD!!!!!

Please be sure your child is dressed in warm clothing.  It's been very cold during recess and lunch, and we want ALL of the students here at Baldwin to stay Healthy.
