Some Important Updates
Here are some updates that have been posted on the homework board:
(You should also find them written in your child's planner...)
**FCAT begins on March 9 and will continue (for 4th graders) through March 11...thank you to those of you who have already sent in snacks!
**No spelling words next week (March 8-12) or the week after (March 15-19)...we are taking time off to prepare for upcoming Science and Social Studies tests that will happen the week after FCAT.
**We will be working on lesson reviews of Science and Social Studies in class. Students know that their "lesson review worksheets" should be used as study guides for the tests. The correct answers will be given in class. It is each child's responsibility to copy down the correct answers and KEEP UP WITH THEIR WORK!! I will be checking for the COMPLETION of all lesson review sheets on Friday,
March 12. As we complete a review sheet, it should travel back and forth from school to home (and then back to school again), every day.
**Science Test (The Human Body)--Tuesday, March 16
**Social Studies Test (Florida...From Territory to Statehood)--Friday, March 19
