Notes From the Teachers

There are twenty-three instructional days until the writing test. The third nine weeks is challenging.  Most of the FCAT materials are being presented during this nine weeks.  It is very important for your child to be here ever day in order to be exposed to FCAT materials.  Report cards go home January 29, 2014 and should be reviewed and the bottom portion returned as soon as possible.  


The math focus for the next two weeks will be topic fifteen in the Envisions book. This chapter is on Area. Ten percent of the FCAT will be on this subject.  We will also review equivalent fractions.  Your child must know the multiplication facts to master the FCAT.  It takes about ten minutes a day to accomplish mastery of the multiplication facts.  As parents we know a good foundation in elementary school will take your child far in life.  Please set the stage for a successful future for your child by spending time with your child helping them learn the multiplication facts and doing nightly homework.  

All homework assigned is assigned to help prepare your child to pass the FCAT. Summer school will be offered for those students that do not master the fourth grade standards.


 All of the students now have an IXL login name and a password. Your child should go on IXL daily in order to master fourth grade skills.  The children will be told the benchmark areas they are low in and work on these areas only.  There are only forty-seven instructional days left before the FCAT.
