As February and the trimester ends this week, students in Language Arts are reviewing so that they feel confident for the ISAT testing next week.
Please ask your student to SHOW you the Language Arts general review that he/she created in class today. It should have both clear text and pictures. This week they should also review several handouts: 1. Literary Terms packet, 2. Prefixes, 3. Suffixes, 4. Parts of an Essay, 5. Testing Strategies, 6. "Joe is Not a Monster" Story Analysis, and 7. Student Writing Checklist. Most of these items should already be in their three ring binders. They should ask me if they need another copy, although several of these are available under handouts on my blog.
Our calendar has a few more scheduling changes. Thursday is an Assembly Schedule this week, and next Monday is a holiday.
It is important to remind your student to get enough sleep before the ISAT tests next week, bring sharpened pencils and something to read to the testing area, and eat a good breakfast with protein.
I hope you had a chance to review, sign and return the progress reports that were passed out last Wednesday. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have a question or concern, but please ask your student directly first. Students need to clear up any grading issues by Wednesday this week.
Thank you for your continued support.
