NMSBA testing starts this week:

Starting Tuesday, March 27, and continuing until April 10, the class will be taking the New Mexico Standards-Based Assessments in Reading, Math, and Science. During that time-frame, we’ll be taking the 7 sessions of the assessment Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before lunch each day. Please make sure your daughter or son is present, on-time , and well-rested every day during testing. So that we get a true assessment of skills, please encourage your child to give their best effort in these tests. Good nutrition, a positive attitude, and getting enough sleep are vital to test success.

Over the weekend:

-Math: SL 8-6 (p. 185). Use a tape-measure to find the area of another, larger room in your house. -3rd quarter progress reports went home with students today. Please sign the green slip and send it back to school with your son or daughter on Monday. My conference schedule for Friday is already pretty full. Spring conferences are not necessary for all students, but if you'd like to meet, please email me mbonner@taoscharterschool.org and we can set up a time after-school next week.

For Thursday:

-Math: SL 8-5 (p. 183). Use a tape-measure or a ruler to measure the length and width of your bedroom to the nearest foot. Ask your parents to help you if you need it. Make a rough drawing of the floor plan, label your measurements, and find the area using the A = L x W formula. -Spelling: Written work is due. Study for the quiz. -3rd quarter report cards will go home with students on Thursday. There's no school on Friday for parent-teacher conferences. I’ve already scheduled meetings with some of you, and I meet with some parents fairly regularly, so conferences are not mandatory for all students. If I haven’t contacted you and you’d like to meet, please email me at mbonner@taoscharterschool.org or call me at school at 751-7222, ext 221 to make an appointment.

For Wednesday:
