Last week our 3^rd through 6^th grade students put all their learning into play as they succeeded on the IAR (Illinois Assessment of Readiness) state test.  We are extremely proud of their hard work and perseverance as they completed these tests.  As always, we will share the results of these assessments as soon as they become available.

We had a great day at Anne Fox!  The students participated in an Escape Room activity.  Each classroom had to complete a puzzle to find the code that would “unlock” them from their classroom.  Once they escaped (luckily we all made it!) the students came down to the gym.  Each grade level used their code to unlock the master locks.  When the chest was free from the constraints we learned that we are going to have a spirit week the week we return from spring break!  Our state testing for grades 3-6 is coming up the week of April 8th and we want to get our students movtivated!  Please see the below schedule:

Monday: 80’s Day (we will rock this test)

Tuesday: No School

Wednesday: Sports Wear (teachers are your biggest fans)

Thursday: Twinning Day (double check your work)

Friday: PJ Day (relax and do your best)

We hope you have a wonderful spring break.  See you April 1st!

Colette Bell and Colleen Conway

Be on the lookout for a special letter delivered to your house by your friendly mail person.  Your child has sent you a special something!  Below you will find the latest Anne Fox updates. Please note this will be the last update until after spring break.
