MAP Testing
This week the kids will finish up MAP testing to assess their language skills. The test will take place Thursday morning. I will use this data to inform my teaching of each individual child and I will be happy to share with you your child’s MAP scores at parent-teacher conferences in November.
Husky Hustle
The Husky Hustle is fast approaching and many students are already out collecting donations! Please encourage and help your child to collect donations to sponsor them as they walk in the annual Husky Hustle October 12 during Related Arts. The donations this year will be going towards purchasing a class set of iPads to be shared school-wide and the class who collects the most donations wins an iPad for their classroom. Please support Harmony and your child as he/she looks for sponsors.
