The end is near!!!! The kiddos are working really hard to get ready for the EOGs, finishing up writing pieces, practicing test taking skills, putting finishing touches on projects... it magically all comes together on June 7th.
We have lots of activities lined up for the end of the year. The next week and a half will be the final push for EOG prep. I have assigned some targeted TenMarks for each child to work on. They will have time each day to work on these during math and also during SWIM intervention and morning time. I pair this with targeted small group skill math practice and games. Next week will have fun with whole class review games in the afternoon.
Save the date: Our end of year celebration will be on Tuesday, June 5th from 1:30 - 3:00. We will have a student choice awards presentation and the presentation of student made PSAs about water.
Check out the calendar below for special events that the kiddos will have on the last week of school.
Testing days:
- Help your child off to a great start by have a calm and positive morning before the test. Lay clothes out the night before, have lunches and book bags packed before bed.
- Please have your child to school on time. We start at 9:20 promptly. Late arrivals will not be admitted to the testing room.
- Breakfast is offered FREE to all students testing. We will be testing on Monday and Tuesday. Your child may get breakfast upon arrival. If your child is eating at home, avoid sugary foods. High protein foods are great for testing days. Also- if you plan to have your child eat at school that day- please have them here in plenty of time to eat.
- Your child will be offered a snack during a testing break. Thank you to all the parents that are donating snacks for us!
- Talk to your child about your positive expectations for them. I tell the kids that the test is just like what we have been learning and working on all year. This is their chance to shine and celebrate all that they have learned and accomplished.
