Good Testing Habits

Important Testing Habits

The most important part of testing is developing the stamina to sit for an extended period of time and work. Students will have one hour to complete each portion of the test during a four day period. During this time students should not be getting up, using the bathroom, or talking. We have practiced good testing habits all year and we've been working on time management.

How Can You Help?

Please have an additional talk with your child about checking their work, using their scrap paper to solve multiple step problems, and most importantly following directions. Also, there are great websites you can have your child use to help prepare for the reading and math portion of the test. Please see websites on this blog. 

Student Goal

It is my goal to have each child totally prepared for the week of FCAT so they can come in confident and ready to do their best and feel their best!!!

The FCAT Exam is not our only focus in this class. My main objective is to help your child become life-long learners, and have the drive to maintain an enthusiasm for academic achievement throughout their years at Beauclerc and beyond!

No School / Presidents' Day

There is no school on Monday February 18th!
Our weekly word test will be on Tuesday.

Word Work

Dear Parents, 

Each week students are given 16 words to study to enhance their vocabulary. I have chosen to test the students each Monday (unless I tell them otherwise). I do this to allow more time for students to study. 

Learning vocabulary is very important to understand higher level texts. Please encourage your child to study a few words each night so they are ready for their assessment. 

On the FCAT there is a section called Words and Phrases which assesses the students on their knowledge of synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and words with multiple meanings. 

The students have to learn good habits to be prepared for success. Please continue to motivate your child to complete their homework and study. If they are taking too long to complete their assignments, please let me know. At this point in the year, students should be aware of time management and my expectations for completing certain tasks.

Planning Day/Holiday

There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday Jan. 18th and on Monday Jan. 21st!

Mystery Reader Day

Yesterday was our school-wide mystery reader day.  Every class had a mystery reader come to their classroom and read a story.  Our mystery reader was Mr. Cruse, a representative from the Mayor's office.  The kids were so excited to have him read!  Mr. Cruse read "The Day that Derk Yeller Came to Town."  Check out some of the pictures from his visit.

FCAT Vocabulary

Check out the FCAT page for FCAT vocabulary words.  We are MAPPING our way to FCAT by using these familiar vocabulary words that will be on the FCAT.  Reading FCAT vocabulary has been added.  Math vocabulary is coming soon!
