Today we did practice reading and math tests on the computer.  We will be reviewing more in the coming days to prepare students for our testing days.  Your support in making sure students are coming to school READY TO LEARN everyday is important.  Please make sure they are getting proper sleep (which is harder as the weather is nicer but soooooo important!) Please see chart below about how much sleep your child should be getting each night.

Attention Parents:

The Last NWEA test of the year is scheduled:

Tuesday, May 15, 2018, will be MATH at 9:00am

Friday, May 18th will be READING at 9:00am

The NWEA test is a VERY important piece of data that helps us determine if your child is ready for 1^st grade (along with other pieces of information, such as DRA, math checklists, various performance tasks, etc.)   It also allows us to see areas of strengths and weaknesses.  This allows us to focus instruction and provide challenging lessons at their level.  Since this is the last NWEA test of the year, we will also be using the information to come up with summer packets to help reinforce and retain what they have learned this year so they are ready to hit the ground running when we return to school in the fall.

***Please review the attached NWEA goals with your child. I sent them home last night in the folder.

IN addition, we need you to send the same messages about NWEA at home that we send at school.  They are as follows:

1. This is a test to show what you know- TRY YOUR BEST!
2. RELAX AND TAKE YOUR TIME! Listen to the questions and answer choices as many times as you need to before you make your answer choice. (The test is read to kindergarten students and if they click the speaker it reads it to them. Once you hit “next” you cannot go back.)
3. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

Thanks for your help!  We (teachers and parents) are a team and need to send the same messages to the children, especially about testing.  Please also help prepare their brains and bodies by ensuring a good night sleep and healthy breakfast!

We appreciate your help with this VERY important matter.

Let’s Rock this Test Kindergarten!!!!!!

Mrs. Fowler

As part of your child’s 15 minutes reading at home tonight, please read WITH them their Maps and Globe book that they made this week.  We highlighted key vocabulary words that they should know for our social studies unit.  Please make sure books are put back in their bags as they will be reading them with a partner tomorrow during Read to Someone time, just like we practiced today.

THANK YOU!

Mrs. Fowler
