Assessments are looming

Good afternoon,

I hope Spring Break was relaxing and reenergizing for everyone! 

The next group of students test in Math next week.  Please make sure your child is eating breakfast and getting plenty of sleep.  Continue to work with your child on their multiplication facts.  This years fourth graders are very lacking in this department.  Remember over to the left under resources there is a multiplication game that students can play.

To prepare your child for the reading assessment please work with them on prefixes and suffixes. 

Especially these ones:

-ness
a state, quality or condition of being



-ment
act of, state of, result of, process of


-less
without, missing


-ful
filled with, having, giving, marked by


-en
make or made of


under-

non-
not, no, absence of


ex-
out, out of, from


dis-
opposite of, lack of, not, negative, undo
anti-
against or opposite
