FCAT Testing

FCAT begins this week with the 4th grade writing test. There will be quiet time all morning on Tuesday and Wednesday. This means that no volunteers are allowed on campus and students who are late will be housed near the office and won't be allowed to walk to their classroom. Please make sure your child is on time on these days.
The remainder of testing will begin in March. We have been buddy reading with Mrs. Laney's 5th grade class. The school has paired lower grades with upper grades to be supportive to them during this testing time. The plan for our class is to do things to let them know we're thinking of them and want them to do their best. We will make cards and give them mints to promote "fresh" thinking. I'm looking for other ideas and possible donations. I was thinking one afternoon towards the end of testing we could enjoy a treat like Popsicles in the afternoon with our buddies. Please contact me if you can think of another idea or would like to donate something. I'll confirm more exact dates later.
