Today the students began their fifth grade Achievement tests.  They took the Reading portion of the test this morning.  I am so proud of their efforts!  They took their time and worked very hard on their test.  I am certain that they can go home and say, “I did my best”.  That is all we ask of them and they certainly did.  The next test is the Math test on Wednesday.  I hope they give each of their tests the same effort. 😉

I’d like to welcome Tyler Stout to Laurelville!  Tyler is a new fifth grade student in my homeroom.  Today was his first day (what fun, your first day at a new school and you get to take a test all morning!).  I’m sure he will get settled in quickly with the help of his classmates.  Welcome to our school, Tyler.  I hope you and your family enjoy the Laurelville community.  I personally think you will love it here!
