CMAS Testing is over! Yay!
Last week was a big one for our class as we completed CMAS testing, and I could not be more proud of how the students showed up each day. They demonstrated perseverance, focus, and a positive attitude throughout the entire week! Testing can be a long and challenging process, but they truly gave it their all!
This week, we will have a four-day school week, with no school for students on Friday due to a teacher work day. During our time together, we will be wrapping up our Exploration of North America unit. It has been exciting to see students make connections and deepen their understanding of how exploration shaped our world. As we close out this unit, we will begin our final unit of the year on Colonial Times. This is always a favorite, as students get to explore what life was like during this important period in history and continue building on the knowledge they have gained throughout the last few units.
Last Friday, an email was sent out with information about our final field trip to Skate City on May 1st. We are currently looking for two chaperones to join us for this fun end-of-year event. If you are interested in volunteering, please be sure to sign up as soon as possible. If you are not selected as a chaperone, you are still more than welcome to meet us at the Littleton Skate City at 9:30 a.m. and join in on the fun! If you missed the MSB Link, you can access it HERE.
With Love,
Ms. Alvarez

I’m so grateful to be part of the AVA community! This is my sixth year of teaching and my fifth year here at AVA. I truly love this school, our students, and the amazing families I get to work with every day. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Elementary Education from the University of Northern Colorado. Teaching is my passion, and being in the classroom with your children is genuinely my happy place! I care deeply about your child’s well-being and am committed to creating a learning environment where every student can thrive. I’m here to partner with you to support your student’s success—please never hesitate to reach out.
I’m looking forward to the BRIGHTEST year yet!
