We are practicing for the FSA! You will see packets coming home without a grade for ELA/Reading and Math. Those packets are samples of items that will be tested on both tests. The idea is to practice a bit at a time and get familiar with the actual "look" of the test items.
FSA DATES-
FSA Reading: April 14th and 15th
FSA Math: May 12th and Maty 13th
Important information: They need a good nights rest, healthy breakfast and most importantly encouragement. If you child is late they will not be permitted to take the test that day.
Let's make the most of this week before break then enjoy break to its fullest! Sunshine, fresh air, planting, biking, swimming, running, picnics and anything we can jam in to live life to the fullest :)
"Do more things with your family that make you forget to check your phone. Your time. not your money, will be the memories that stand out for your child."
