Weekly Tests in Reading
NOTE: I have sent home this week's test. I did not count it, for there were some mistakes that I want the students to review. I think some kids didn't read the questions in their entirety and others rushed. Many questions were left blank and I had to give the tests back to students to complete missed questions.
Next week the test will count. The class was informed that they need to always take their time and always put their best efforts into their work. They should check to make sure every question is answered to his/her best ability as well.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
Your child should study his/her spelling words EVERY night.
The Yearbook - Tree Ring Info
If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to check out the website we are using to create and purchase our yearbooks.
Everyone should have received an email from Treering.com prompting you to create an account. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment and explore the website. This website will allow you to purchase a yearbook to commemorate your student's year at FSA.
Each yearbook included 2 pages that you can customize with photos and memories just for you and your student!
The following link will take you to a page filled with tutorial videos to help you navigate the website and learn about all the options and features:
And here are several flyers that you might print or attach to emails (I sent most of these home with students earlier in the year, but some may have missed it):
