It looks like this week will consist of indoor recess, thanks to all the rain. It is a busy time of year at WIS. Hopefully, everyone received the list of May events. As the school year draws to a close, there are plenty of activities for everyone.
Please remember Stephen Wingfield’s fundraiser this Saturday evening. There will be a spaghetti dinner with lots of baskets up for auction! The dinner will be held at Willard North Elementary from 4-7. You won’t want to miss the silent auction-not only will they have many baskets of good stuff, BUT……………………………….They have had a very generous donation from Conco Quarries. A $600 suite at a Springfield Cardinal Game for 18 people. This is a climate controlled indoor seating and outdoor balcony suite, has a big screen TV, microwave, refrigerator, and a fabulous view of the game. The bidding will start at $100, which is only $5.50 a person!! An incredible deal!!!! The winner will contact Conco Quarries to choose the game date.

MAP Testing is over!! It was a long week of sitting quietly, concentrating, and a lot of mental work! Students did a fantastic job overall. I will be eager to see their scores in August! This week we will be concentrating on the multiplication of fractions in Math and in Science we will be studying the states of matter, compounds, mixtures, and elements.
This Friday, April 24th, we will be celebrating students who worked hard on their MAP test. During lunch, students will be served a special lunch of grilled hot dogs, chips and a dessert. Students who don’t wish to participate in the cookout will be provided a special sack lunch that day. Rain date is Thursday, April 30th.

This is a short week with no school on Good Friday (4/10). However, it is a L-O-N-G week of MAP test preparation. The MAP test is coming up next week. Communication Arts will be assessed on Tuesday (4/14) and Math will be assessed on Wednesday (4/15). The 5th graders will also have their Science portion of the MAP test on Thursday (4/16)…but 6th graders seem excited that they do not. During the MAP testing days, there will be no band class.
Please help us help your child for MAP week by:
- Getting your child to bed early next Monday-Wednesday
- Encouraging your child to eat breakfast
- Giving your child a little extra encouragement and patience as they will be testing for prolonged periods of time next week
Have a wonderful Easter and enjoy the 3-day weekend!
