Tests, Grades, etc.

Just a few notes:

* Test folders have gone home today. Each child has the Math test from last Tuesday and today's spelling test in the folder. There is also the first 50 Facts Test in Multiplication. This test indicates your child's current memory of multiplication facts. Each child was given a minute to complete as many facts as possible, a score above 40 shows mastery of facts. The test will be repeated several times throughout the month. To help your child, please review a few facts a day, especially those in the six, seven and eight times table. Try the Multiplication Game link under the Useful Websites list.

* Please be aware that assignments must be turned in on time. Occasionally, if an assignment is excessively late (over 2 days),it may affect the overall grade.

* The answer to last week's math question is that a kite cannot be called a square.

* We will have another Social Studies project soon. Your child will need an average sized shoe box for this. More details will follow.
