B-412 Information

Hi B-412! April was one of our busiest months yet! We were invited to visit the Tenement Museum with Ms. Zeng’s class, and we had an amazing time! We also completed our first round of testing with the New York State ELA tests. Students in B-412 did an AMAZING job. It certainly wasn’t easy, but we used our skills and strategies to tackle the questions. Ms. Clock, Ms. Kimberly, and Ms. Priscyla could not be more proud of the effort the B-412 chinchillas. We are so impressed with their hard work. We also want to extend our gratitude to the parents and families of B-412. We would not be able to do any of this without your partnership and support. We appreciate you! 😊

May is another super busy month for us in B-412! Our fifth graders will be taking their New York State math test on Tuesday, 5/6 and Wednesday, 5/7. Our fourth graders will be taking their New York State math test on Monday, 5/12 and Tuesday, 5/13. Additionally, our fifth graders will be taking their New York State science test on Wednesday, 5/14. Once those finish up, we’ll be able to take a short breather, and we’ll be taking our F&P reading assessments and our MAP math assessments. While it is definitely a very busy time with assessments, we will still be moving forward working on some new math skills focused on geometry and coordinate planes (graphing) as well as continuing to push our reading and writing skills as we go. On Thursday, 5/22, CLS will be hosting our Spring Curriculum Night. This will be a virtual event, and we will have more details about this for you soon. You will have the opportunity to meet with all of the bridge class teachers at CLS and learn some more about what is coming up for your student next school year. There will also be some middle school information for families of our fifth graders about next year. We’re also excited for our 4th and 5th grade Arts Night on 5/30 @ 6:00 PM!
