Week of March 29th

Hi Everyone,

     I hope that everyone had a restful and wonderful Spring Break!! 

     We will begin FSA testing this Friday with session of one of the math test. Please make sure that your child gets plenty of rest on Thursday night and again on Sunday night. Session one is Friday and session two will be on Monday 4/4. Please also make sure that students have a hearty breakfast on Friday and Monday Morning. Students will not have snack until testing is completed. Each session will be 80 minutes with a short stretch break after 40 minutes. We won't finish testing until approximately 10:30.
     If your child is my homeroom please visit:

     For more information about the test please visit:
Spring 2016 PBT FSA Grades 3 and 4 Mathematics Student Presentation. This is a power point presentation that will give you more information about test invalidation, and how to answer FSA items. We have reviewed the power point in class, but feel free to review the information with your child.

     Needless to say our main focus in math this week will be reviewing different types of FSA items. The test will include any concepts that have been taught this year. 

     In science this week we will continue to work with our bean plants. They miraculously made through 10 days of no care and a number of us actually have beans growing on our plants. We are hoping to transfer them into the new JBE garden when it gets set up. 

Have a GREAT Week,
Aesha
