Beginning tomorrow, and finishing on Wednesday and Friday, we are planning on taking the spring MISIC, or MAPS tests. Please see that your child is getting a good night’s rest and having breakfast at home OR at school, so he/she is ready for the tests this week. Also, like the Iowa Testing, please assure your child that these tests are important and it is important that he/she tries his/her best on the tests. Your child is also aware of his/her score from the MAPS tests in the fall and has set goals of where he/she would like to score in the spring. I will send home a copy of your child's goal sheet on TODAY so you can discuss the importance of the tests with your child. On his/her goal sheet, you will notice the average score for the spring, so you are aware of the "average score" for 3rd graders. You will also see your child's fall score and the goal that your child set for each test. Please contact me with any questions about the goals. Thanks!
This week, all third graders will be taking a field trip for Arbor Day. On Thursday, April 24th, we will be traveling to the Nature Center in Vernon Springs where the students will be going through several “stations” and will learn many things about nature and wildlife. Students will not need to bring their own lunch that day, as the school will be supplying the sack lunches. The field trip will be from 10AM to 2PM, so we are asking that your child dress in layers as it will be cooler in the morning. Please see that your child wears pants, tennis shoes, and a coat/sweatshirt. The Nature Center has asked that the students not wear shorts or capris because we may be outside in taller grasses. If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you!
Your child will continue to bring home a "Math Fact Study Log" sheet this Monday. Again, I am asking your child to practice his/her multiplication facts at least 3 times per week. When your child practices the facts, please initial the days practiced on the log sheet. Your child should know what fact families he/she should be working on. The order we will test on the fact families are as follows: 0, 1, 2, 10, 5, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Your child will bring home a "Math Fact Study Log" sheet every MONDAY and will need to return the previous log sheet the following MONDAY. THIS IS HOMEWORK AND IT IS EXPECTED TO BE DONE. Please continue to have your child practice these facts and sign the sheet until further notice. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks!
Lastly, there will be a 3-hour early out on Wednesday, April 23rd, due to teacher inservice. Students will be dismissed at 12:25 PM, so please plan accordingly.
Have a great week!
Mrs. McCarville
