TAKS prep

Report Cards are coming home this week.
TAKS - Math on  Monday and Reading on Tuesday

Completed TAKS prep materials are in your child’s Thursday folder. We have been practicing in class using our strategies to tackle the TAKS test! Please review these materials (especially missed items) with your child to help him/her be more prepared.

We all know TAKS is important and you can help your child by not stressing out about the test. Your child needs you as a cheerleader these next few weeks. Stay positive and encouraging. Begin getting your child on a routine of getting in bed early and eating a good breakfast. Every little thing can make a difference. It’s up to you!

Thanks for all of your support.

SPRING BREAK!

With TAKS so close (2 weeks of school) I am sending home a math and reading packet for the students to work on during Spring Break. They also need to READ, READ, READ!!

Do not make them do school work all day, everyday. It is their Spring Break and they earned it! :) 

See you back on MARCH 21st!!

Already March...

We have a busy few weeks ahead of us. A few important reminders:

Spring Break - March 14-18
TAKS Math - April 4
TAKS Reading - April 5
End of 9 Weeks, Early Release - April 25
Report Cards Home - April 30

Make sure you are checking your child's Thursday folder weekly and looking at all the of graded papers. It is a very busy and challenging time for the students so please be on top of their progress.

TAKS PRACTICE: With TAKS coming please make sure your child is reading AT LEAST 30 minutes a day. Also, please review the weekly COUNTDOWN TO TAKS (math) booklets that come home. These are practice for the real thing! We are now taking practice TAKS reading tests. Talk with your child about the strategies he/she should be using and go over any reading tests that come home.
