Carl J. Lamb third graders in Mrs. Lederer’s class earned a slime party as a class reward for good behavior. They had to use their math skills to multiply a recipe to figure out how to make enough slime for the number of members in their group.
Good afternoon, Here is this week's edition of the CJL Principal's Newsletter https://5il.co/2dm1r. Tuesday, fifty students who were randomly selected for us will participate in NAEP testing. NAEP stands for the National Assessment of Educational Progress and is the largest nationally representative assessment of what U.S. students know and can do in reading and math. Results will be shared at the state level. We will not receive results for our school. We consider our NWEA testing to be much more important as the NWEA gives teachers individualized student strengths and areas to be developed. Please encourage your student to get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, pack a water bottle, and to try their very best, but not to stress. We'll be proud of their best effort. Excellent attendance helps to improve student achievement. Have a great week!
When it’s too cold to go outside, Carl J. Lamb Pre-K students bring in snow to paint and play with. They also created finger paint tracks to go along with their new book of the week, The Snowy Day!
