4AB Math Class
With Ms. Ramsey 04-28-17
Dear families,
MAP testing begins next week. The MAP test schedule was revised through FSAPS's Weekly Newsletter sent out Monday at 5 pm. It will be super important your child is at school no later than 7:53, so they do not have to wait in the long tardy line. Please make sure they have a good night of sleep and a hearty breakfast.
Next week we are moving into our final topic of the year: measurement with area and perimeter. If you scroll to the bottom of this newsletter, you will find a silly song I use to teach students the difference between area and perimeter.
I have planned a cumulative Geometry Test to be held on May 11th. This is when MAP testing has concluded and we will have concluded all Geometry skills and have time to review. I will not give a test during elementary MAP testing dates as per FSAPS policy. If you need anything, please feel free to email me :)
All my love,
Ms. Ramsey
