We will be taking the 4th Grade KPREP test every day next week.  Please read the testing tips below to make sure your child is prepared to do his or her best!  Happy Testing!!!

 It is very important for your child to be at school every day. If you can, reschedule any appointments for after school.

 Please make every effort to make sure they are here by 7:40. Allow extra time to get to school each day.

 Make sure they eat a healthy breakfast. A good breakfast fuels their brains and gives them the energy they need to focus and work hard during the test.

 Encourage your child to do their absolute best each and every day. Talk to your child about taking their time, re-reading directions and questions, and checking over their work. Make sure they know you believe in them!

Next week in Math...

Next week we will be covering our Geometry unit.  We will begin working on identifying and measuring angles and we will also be reviewing two-dimensional shapes and symmetry.

Special Notes
