April Student of the Month Assembly began with videos of each of the classes singing songs that will prepare them for the CRTs that begin April 15. Mrs. Reynolds reminded the students of some test taking strategies that will help them be successful. Students were reminded to get a good night’s rest, eat a good breakfast and be to school on time. “We will, we will rock you,” sang the first graders. The fourth graders are proficient and they know it. The fifth graders are going to show the CRTs who’s boss. And the sixth graders are not stressing out.

It is time once again for CRT Testing for all students of Park View.  Testing will begin Monday, April 22 and continue to May 17.  Here is some advice for parents to help their children do their best on the test:

Provide a healthy breakfast.  Possibilities are fruits, smoothies, healthy cereal, and toast with healthy toppings. 

Have your child get a good night’s rest.  Go to bed early and get up on time for school.

The theme for March’s Reading Month was “You’re a Winner When You Read.”

Each grade level set a goal to read more than ever during the month.  Parents, teachers and students dropped everything to read and read a lot.  Prizes and books lined the office to be given away to the biggest readers.

On Tuesday March 19th the coolest thing happened!  The Green Man Group came to Parkview!  The music was very loud; the  floor was shaking , but it was very cool!  I feel sorry for kindergarten, first and second graders who were the closest to the stage.  It must have been really loud.  I bet that the “aliens” were very happy to see us.  They even let some of the kids try the heavy drums; that was so nice of them.  After the assembly the green men signed our backpacks with a pen.
