Your child is bringing home their math test that they took this week.  I would like you to compare the two tests that have been sent home. The test on white paper is the pretest. It does not count for a grade. The students take this test and then I grade it. After I grade it, I look it over to see what the children have already mastered and what they still need to learn. Then, I sit down and plan my lessons that I will be teaching. You should always see an improvement from the white test to the pink test. Therefore, the test on pink paper is a post test. It does count for a grade because we have been working on these concepts in class. Please sign the test and send it back to school tomorrow with your child.  I am happy to report that everyone did improve….yeah!

Thanks!
