Test Prep

As we enter these last several weeks before thetesting, gradually more of our emphasis needs to be on reviewing concepts you expect the students to see on the test. Also be sure they know the “test-smart” things to do:

• Answer all questions.
• Read the question thoroughly.
• If in doubt, start by eliminating answers which are obviously wrong and making a guess from the remaining couple.
• Budgeting time.
• Going back over the section if they complete early.
• Get a good night’s sleep before the test.
• Eat a good breakfast.

Retentions—Please let me now the names of any students in your class that you feel may be retained at the end of the year. Please be sure that you are communicating with the parents as to what the student would need to do to be promoted. We do not want anyone to be surprised at the end of the year.

Repeating Task List—I will be placing in your boxes hard copies of the repeating tasks that you have signed up for. The size will be larger than what you have had on previous versions.
