Weekly Update from Nyhuis Nation
May 20, 2016
Please ensure your child is reading at least 20 minutes every night! They
should be reading the same chapter book at home that they are
reading in school. Thank you!
SOL Review is in full swing. Your child should be doing 30 minutes of SOL
Review nightly. Please ensure that they are completing this review. Thank
you!!!
Encourage your student to share about the
things we’ve done this past week:
*I told the kids about an exciting reward they can earn for doing
their best on their upcoming SOL tests. Ask them about it and see if
they can tell you how they plan on earning the reward! 
 It was a big week for testing. We have completed our Science SOL as
well as our Reading SOL. In two weeks we will have two days of
testing for our math SOL. Thank you so much for being supportive
and positive for your child at home. They were so cute coming in to
tell me what they ate for breakfast and that they got good sleep. I
was also impressed with how many of the students went above and
beyond with their review. Trust me, their hard work and your support
is paying off! You should be VERY proud of the efforts your child has
put forth this week.
 We have been doing a lot of SOL review focusing on 5th grade Science
topics & Reading topics. Ask your child how they’ve been doing on our
class Kahoots!
 We held our final Language Arts Olympics games, which proved to be
an excellent review for all!
