Tomorrow is a day for your child to shine and show how much they have learned since the beginning of the year!  This test will measure the growth of your child from the beginning of the year until now. I know they have improved and I am sure you have seen it to at home, too!  Please encourage your child to try their very best on the test:)  I know I will encourage them to take their time and really think about what the question is asking them.  

Since we will be taking the NWEA reading test tomorrow, please make sure your child gets a good night sleep tonight (Wednesday) and eats a nutritional breakfast tomorrow (Thursday) morning because studies have shown that children who get a good night sleep and eat breakfast every morning do much better in school.    Once again, the reading test is more than just reading.  It includes knowing short and long vowels, prefixes, suffixes, root or base words, compound words, syllables, antonyms, synonyms, homonyms, nouns, proper nouns, pronouns, verbs, plural nouns, irregular plural nouns, past tense verbs, irregular past tense verbs, collective nouns, editing sentences, and a lot more.   At home, they can go on ixl.com, Mobymax, Raz-Kids, My On, Education City and the NWEA websites from the district, etc

Book checkout is tomorrow.  Please have your child bring their books to school so they can get new ones.
