CRCT Review

CRCT review packets went home on Thursday. On Friday a grade-level letter was sent home with information regarding the packet as well as with username/password information for your child. These were for Study Island and OAS. I have 47 tests created for OAS. All subjects are represented with tests.
Whether your child completes the CRCT packet or not, please have them return the packet on Monday 4 April. We will use this information to review for the CRCT.
FLE is offering several incentives for students during CRCT week. If your child is present each day (on time for the testing) they will receive ice cream. If our whole class is present each day we will receive a popcorn/movie party. If every child in 3rd grade is present each day we will receive a pizza party in addition to the other incentives.
It is vital that your child be prepared and well rested for the testing each day. I know that they will do an OUTSTANDING job on the CRCT!
Have a great spring break.

1. Where do you think the children will go next?
2. The children hear a neighing sound and look out the tree house window. What do you think they see?

GetThe Scoop On A Good Book

Our AR focus for this marking period is "getting the scoop" on a good book. Every time a student takes a test AND receives 100% on the quiz they will be given an ice cream scoop to place on the ice cream cone located outside our class. Our class is "churning" right along and we have added quite a few scoops. I know that they will exceed my wildest expectations just like they did with the popcorn challenge.
In addition to the ice cream scoops, students also get a sticker for making a 90%-100% on their AR tests. After they have received 14 stickers, they receive a candy bar of their choice. The first marking period, a few students worked towards this goal. The second marking period 18 of the 23 students in our class received at least one candy bar, with quite a few receiving 2 or more. I even had one student receive 4 candy bars....that is a whopping total of 56 books!
The more your child reads, the better the reader they become and the better their comprehension becomes.
Keep up the great work!!! I am so very proud of each student in my class.
