CMASStarting in 3rd grade, students take the CMAS test. At Edison, students will be taking CMAS the mornings of April 10-14 and April 17. The ELA portion (literacy) will be administered April 10-12 and takes 90 minutes each morning. The math portion will be administered the mornings of April 13, 14, and 17 and it lasts about 65 minutes each morning.
Because this is the first time the students in our class will take this test, there is some excitement and anxiety. The week prior, I'll be showing students how to navigate the online test. We'll be looking at some practice questions, as well, so students will be used to the formatting. They will be well prepared!! |

Earth Day ParadeMark your calendar and save the date! On April 21, students and family members are invited to join in the fun of an Earth Day Parade. We'll meet at the main entrance of Edison off of Quitman Street at 8am (before school). We'll then parade around the school while cleaning up any trash on the school grounds.
The best part...students are encouraged to create an Earth Day hat ahead of time, and wear it to the parade. The catch is that hats should be made entirely out of recycled materials. So students should get creative!! Field Trip to the Majestic View Nature CenterOur last field trip of the year will be on Wednesday, May 10. We're going to spend the morning at the Majestic View Nature Center in Arvada. More info to come!
