Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Welcome to MEAP Weeks!  Every child in BCS is tested.  3rd graders take Reading and Math.  4th graders take Reading, Writing, and Math.  When we test, the kids are in my room with half of our class--the grade not being tested during that block has a rotation of activities in the Media Center.  Having 13-14 kids in the room provides a calm environment for the kids and allows us to proctor well.

Posted below is the schedule of who tests when:

• Tuesday, Oct. 12:   Reading (grades 3 and 4)
• Wednesday, Oct. 13:  Reading  (grades 3 and 4)
• Thursday, Oct. 14:  Writing  (grade 4)
• Tuesday, Oct. 19:  Math  (grades 3 and 4)
• Wednesday, Oct. 20:  Writing  (grade 4)
• Make-up testing on all other days through Friday, October 29th for kids who were absent on the above days.

What should you do at home to help your child do well?

• Early bedtime--get at least 10 hours of sleep (which doctors recommend for kids this age every day anyway)
• Healthy, big breakfast (there is NO food allowed in MEAP rooms)
• Get to school on time--testing begins by 8:30 every day.
• Do not take your child out of school for appointments.

If you have any questions, please email me.
