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.
