3/20/15

Vithar students are finishing up their Language Arts PARCC tests today! On Monday and Tuesday next week they will be taking the Math tests. Students will not need a calculator for these tests because one will be provided for them. Students please continue to bring a reading book or magazines to school for Monday and Tuesday. Students have been doing an amazing job adjusting to the schedule these past few days and we are proud of their good behavior in the hallways while testing has been going on. Keep up the good work for two more days!!!

On a side note, we have recently started a typing competition among the seventh grade vithar students. Each week our five fastest typers are recognized on our team bulletin board. Last week our fastest typer was Mattie Hyde with 46.97 word per minute. This week our fastest typer was Fiona Aniceto with 72.55 words per minute! Wow! Great job girls! Who will be our fastest typer next week?! Keep practicing at home and let your teachers know if you beat your previous speed.

Have a great weekend everyone!

One more week until Spring Break!!!!
