The Terra Nova Test and the In View Test(Cognitve Test) will be administered next week starting on Monday, March 1st to Friday, March 5th. This Friday the student will take a practice test for each test. It is not graded. They are given so the students get an idea of the actual test. These practice tests will be sent home on Friday so that you can see the format of each test. These tests are not a part of your child's report card.
The schedule for the week will be:
Monday- Cognitive Test
Tuesday and Wednesday - Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics
Thursday- Social Studies
Friday- Science
Our "special classes" will still be scheduled next week. They will be a nice break from the tests. We will still have snack time next week. Please send snacks that will fuel the brain.
Because of so much testing next week, homework will be light. Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest because it can be tiring. Also if you could send No.2 pencils and erasers, that would be great. They will need a book to read if they finish the test before the allotted time. It would be great for them to read a book they will be using for their next book report. There is plenty of time given for each test so the students shouldn't feel rushed.
I know the students will do their best and will do well on the tests. Please stress to your child to look over their choices and to take their time to complete the tests. NO RUSHING ALLOWED!
