Achievement Test Week!

Hooray! We are taking the Reading Achievement Test on Tuesday, May 3. We will take the Math Achievement Test on Thursday, May 5. The Fabulous Fifth Grade will take the Science Achievement Test on Wednesday, May 4. The homework for this week: I am giving practice tests. The reading and math practice tests (for 4th grade) are due on Friday. The science practice test (for 5th grade) is due on Friday. These practice tests are to help the students prepare for the achievement tests. I don't expect the students to complete an entire practice test in one night, which is why the practice tests are due on Friday.

It is very important that your child is well-rested and well-nourished for the achievement tests.
