Dear
Parent/Guardian,
We will be
giving standardized tests to measure your child’s learning. These tests
includequestions that relate to the information your child is learning in
school.
Many
students do not test well even though they know the material. They may not test
well because of test anxiety or the mystery of taking tests. What will the test
look like? What will some of the questions be? What happens if I do not do well?
To help your
child do his/her best on the tests, we will be using some practice tests. These
tests help your child learn what the tests will look like, what some of the
questions might be, and ways to learn to take tests. These practice tests will
be included as part of your child’s daily study pack at home. Please do NOT
answer anything with your child at home, only help your child by studying the
question from the practice test that were already done in class with his/her
teacher.
These tests
help your child learn what the tests will look like, what some of the
questionsmight be, and ways to learn to take tests.
The actual
tests will be on the following dates:
·
Language arts – Sunday, March 18, 2018
·
Reading – Monday, March 19, 2018
·
Math – Thursday, March 22, 2018
Important
Note: some of the questions in the practice tests we still haven't covered in
class, because the test includes all the needed information to master your
child's grade level skills. There are also some questions that will not even be
covered throughout the year because the test is designed to measure all students'with different levels and to help us discover any students with
advanced learning skills. The test has nothing to do with your child's grades
in school, so please do not stress yourself out.
By showing you are interested in how your child is doing,
he/she will do even better in school. Enjoy this time with your child. Good
luck with the practice tests.
Good luck!
