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.

Meet Mrs. Chambless
I am in my 18th year teaching, ninth year at AVA! LOVE it here! I have taught kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd. I am a Colorado native and love being with my family. My husband, Matt, works as a specialist for Douglas County School District... we are a teaching family! I have a freshman in college, Allikaye, who attends Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. I also have twins in seventh grade, Kai and Cambria. We are a busy family and like it that way! We are out playing sports, hiking, traveling, camping, and love being outdoors... Colorado living... especially living in the pines in Larkspur! I love coffee, reading, rainbow colors, smiley faces, and donuts! This is going to be a great year! Thank you for sharing your sweet children with me!!
