Reading Update for the week of March 1, 2010

Well one week until the FCAT!!! This week we will continue practicing reading for understanding and test taking strategies. Yesterday Mrs. Watson came and had lunch with the class and had a wonderful discussion on being prepared for the test which also applies to tests in general. Here were her main points:

1. Study
2. Exercise
3. Eat right
4. Get plenty of rest


These are all very good points! Next week we will begin testing on Tuesday and will continue through Thursday. Students may bring in a snack for after testing each day (Tuesday through Thursday)

Please continue to monitor and read with you child every night! This week's practice is the 2006 FCAT released test from the state. It will give you a peek into the expectations of the test they will take next week.

Important Dates

Wednesday Early Dismissal......March 3
Spirit Week................................March 1-5
FCAT testing..............................March 9-11


Until next time,
R. O'Steen
