next week's ITBS testing

This note, along with the Module 6 Parent Guide, was sent home Thursday, March 31st.


Next week is ITBS testing week.  We would like to give the students the best testing environment as possible so they can show their best work.  You can help your student by making sure he/she gets to bed a little earlier than normal, has a healthy breakfast each morning, and through your encouragement.  (“I love you, do your best, I’m so proud of you, you can do it, keep pressing on,” etc)

There are four parts. We will be testing in the morning every day next week, and will reserve Friday for makeups.

Monday – Vocabulary
Tuesday – Reading
Wednesday – Science
Thursday – Math
Friday – Make up tests

Thank you for your support!

Next, we have begun our last math module.  Please see the attached parent guide for further information. We are graphing coordinates on x- and y-axis.  I’ve embedded practice problems into the online Prodigy game. Students can also practice math concepts in Front Row and Moby Max (Test Prep Math).  Students know their usernames and passwords, but if you’re having problems, please contact me. 

In science, we are continuing to investigate controlled experiments and changing one variable at a time. 

Thank you, again, for your support!  Your child is almost a middle school student, and the next phase in his/her education is an exciting adventure to prepare for!
