A very important week in the 4th Grade, state reading assessments. The students have been working hard all year to show off on these tests so just a couple reminders of how you can help out. I will be very light on homework this week to ensure that all students get a good night's rest. I also encourage everyone to make sure their child eats a good breakfast in the morning. These two things will help keep everyone energized and ready to concentrate on the tests.
I am going to review one last time today the best test taking strategies for these exams;
- read the questions first
- read the passage 2-3 times
- go back into the text and highlight the answer
- don't rush
I am confident the students will do their best and produce amazing results! I am proud to be the teacher of this classroom.
Other items sneaking up for next week:
*March 5th- Book Report Due
*March 7th- South States Test (14 states and spelling counts)
As always if you have any questions please ask.
Mr. Strathman
