Did YOU Know?????

Reports cards are coming home today, for many, this is where the rubber hits the road!

We want to remind you of a few classroom policies:

* All Selection Tests are Open Book- Students should reread their Reading stories over the weekend to be prepared for the test on Monday. An Open Book Test is NOT your friend if you have no familiarity with the material.

* Students MUST study vocabulary and word study word lists. These tests are NOT a spelling text. They must be able to use and / or understand the word in context.

* Multiplication facts are just that- FACTS... that students must know! All of our Math going forward pulls from that assumed knowledge!

* Test Corrections are NOT optional. This is a great tool to help students identify mistakes they made in their thinking! It also raises their grade!

* Talk to your student about their day. Ask them to explain what they are doing in Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. It is crucial for them to understand that you are there to help and support them as needed.

* If you would like to schedule a conference to discuss your child's progress we are available most mornings from 8:00 - 8:30

* FCAT - 42 days and counting!
