Dear Families:
Students will begin taking the M.S.P. this Wednesday, April 1. Tomorrow, to help kick things
off and get the them fired up, the school will host an M.S.P. breakfast for all 4th graders as
soon as school starts (students are welcome to "double dip" . . . breakfast at home and at
school). Thank you to those who have sent in healthy snacks to share with our 27 students.
We could use some more -- ideas include trail mix, granola bars, crackers, pretzels, fruit
(dried or fresh), veggies, fruit juice boxes, cheese sticks, bagels & cream cheese, sugar-free
chewing gum, etc. Please remember that we have one member of the class with a nut
allergy.

With four days of testing spread across four weeks, this will have an impact on our regular
schedule and routines. In addition, on nights before a testing date, I will NOT assign
homework. I will also NOT collect reading log entries for the next two weeks; I will resume collecting one entry per week on May 13. Finally, I will expect all students to get plenty of
rest on nights before testing.

There are many special events this month in our class. This Thursday, we have some guest
teachers presenting all afternoon about nutrition and eating healthy (sponsored by
Beecher's Cheese, so no cost to us). A volunteer from our community, Robert Wotten, will
come in for five periods throughout the month to teach the students about basic economics. Finally, as you know, we have two field trips. On May 23, we're attending a play ("Crash") at
the Seattle Children's Theatre. I currently have 3 parents chaperones, but we have room for
a couple more. On May 28, we travel to the campus of the U.W. to visit the Burke Museum. Permission slips for both will be coming soon.

Today, a progress report will come home with your child. They can talk to me before school
or at recess about how to make up any missing assignments.
