Friends from CBHS
Last Friday, Hayden and Alexander spent the day with us. They sat in on our morning meeting, and really seemed to like singing our "weekend song". They even traveled to art class with us. For Math they each taught one of our multiplication workstations. After studying about the history of the American flag, they painted our hands red, white, and blue.

The TCAP test is NEXT WEEK! We’ve been working hard to get ready and make sure we have some test-taking strategies in our back-pocket! We know to take our time, read carefully, listen to instructions, stay on the right page, relax, mark out silly or unrealistic answer choices, reread, bubble in circles heavy and complete, and most importantly…believe in ourselves!
Parents, you can help us too! Serve us healthy meals during the week, make sure we get lots of rest, get us to school on time every morning, and encourage us to do our best each day!
It's TCAP BootCamp Week!:
Monday-“Sock it” to the TCAP!
Wear mismatched socks.
Tuesday-“I’m a JEAN-ius!”
Wear jeans.
Wednesday-“Paint the halls ADVANCED!” Wear blue.
Thursday-“Be all you can be!”
Wear a Kinsgbury shirt.
Friday-“Ready for Action”
Wear camouflage or green.
