Dear Parents,
Thank you for coming to conferences! These meetings allow us to partner in your child’s growth and provide them with a maximum amount of support. It has been a fantastic year so far, and the last months of school will continue to be productive and fun. Thank you for all your support.
I talked to many of you about the importance of practicing basic math facts consistently. We use the website Fact Monster to practice at school, so students are familiar with this site.:
As most of you know, third graders will be taking the PARCC tests this year. This is a state standardized test. The tests have been scheduled for the first two weeks of April, right after spring break. If you are planning a trip, please plan the trip outside of the PARCC testing dates. It would be so helpful to have all the students complete the tests during our scheduled testing weeks. Thank you! We will let you know the final dates and times when we have a finalized schedule.
We will be doings some PARCC practice activities. This practice helps students feel more comfortable about the test and familiarizes them with the testing format. The websites below have have some good practice problems, if you would like to use them at home too. If you have any questions or concerns about PARCC, please let me know.
