Dear Parents,
A reminder about tomorrow's Math Night for parents. This event was written up in the Valencia View school newsletter you received last week. I believe a separate notice was also sent home about it. It will be from 7:00-8:30 tomorrow evening.
Tonight's homework: Math--study for the Chp. 25 test (tomorrow is the test)
ABC State Report--work on it every night
AR--read for at least 1/2 hour every day at home
Next week the students will be taking the last District Writing Test. I don't know what the topic (prompt) is, but these tests evaluate every aspect of the students' writing: organization, spelling, grammar, form (beginning, middle, end), whether the writing makes sense and is cohesive etc. The students have taken these tests twice before this year, and hopefully, each time they do better and better. The goal is for each child to score in the Proficient or Advanced range.
I hope you saw all the corrected papers that were sent home on Friday, and again today. It's the best way for you to track how well your child is doing at this time.
The California State Testing starts on Monday, May 3rd, and concludes on Tuesday, May 11th. It's a shorter schedule than we've had in the past. Fifth graders take a total of six tests during those seven days. I hope no one is absent, because there isn't much time to schedule make-up tests.
Have a good evening!
Sincerely,
Ruth Landmann
