MCA roundup week #1

Great job 5th grade! Reading MCA IIIs have just finished and all of your hard work paid off! I saw students using our "Secret Strategy," looking for evidence to support your answers, reading each passage twice, and double checking your answers carefully. I am proud of you and hope that you get to see that you passed the goal of a higher test score this year!

Next week and the week following, we will have two days of computer-based math MCA IIIs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Remember to bring a calculator, head phones (many students are still without headphones-needed for the computer-based test! Please bring by TOMORROW!), and #2 pencils (not mechanical pencils). Get plenty of rest, a healthy breakfast and lunch.

Parents, we test at 1:45 in the afternoon, so next week would not be an ideal time to schedule picking your child up early for any reason!
