We are on the countdown to STAAR testing.  The STAAR Math test will be give on Tuesday, April 23rd and the Reading test will be the next day.  These are timed tests (4 hours each), and since students will be eating lunch in their classrooms, it will not be possible for parents to have lunch with their children during these two days. 

This week we are reviewing for the STAAR test.  Last week the students took a test over measurement.  Due to testing, there will not be any Math homework next week, April 22-26.  Also, tutorials are over for the year.  I appreciate all of the students who attended them this year.

During Social Studies, students have been learning about World War II and how Texas went from being a rural state to a more urban one.  The rest of the year will be spent discussing modern Texas.

It is hard to believe that we're in the final 9 weeks!  It has been my pleasure to be one of your child's teachers. 

 If I can be of any assistance, please email me at bbarnes1@g-pisd.org or call the school and leave me a message.  My extension is 2204.
