This week we will have early release on Wednesday. A week from today (Monday 2/29), students will take the FSA Language Arts Writing Test. Students will be given a prompt, which they won't know what it is until the moment that they open their test book. Students will have 120 minutes to read the given articles, plan their writing, write their essay, and revise their work. Testing will begin promptly at 9:00. Please make every effort to have your child get a restful nights sleep. Please also have make sure that your child eats a good nutritious breakfast. Students will not be allowed to have water bottles or snack until testing is complete (9:00-11:15ish).
We will be using the following schedule for the remainder of our FSA testing:

We will be going on our field trip to St. Augustine on Tuesday March 15th. The cost of the field trip is $12 for students and $27 for parents. Each class can have 5 chaperons. All monies are due on Friday March 4th.
This week in math we will complete our work on fractions and decimals. Students will take the end of unit test on this Friday (2/26). We will then move on to our unit on angles. In this unit students will learn about the different types of angles-acute, obtuse, right and straight. Students will also learn how to use a protractor to measure angles.
In addition to using I-Ready math students can also use w ww.floridastudents.org for access to additional resources to help review all of the math standards.
This week in science we will finish up our study of chapter 7. The test on chapter 7 will be next week. We are continuing our work growing our bean seeds. Most groups have at least one plant growing!! I will post pictures soon.
Have a GREAT week,
