Hello! I hope everyone is doing well and that you are using
some of this warm weather to get outside!
A few notes/things I want to share with you. Please see my email as well – there is more
important information for Parent Eyes Only in there!
SOL Dates
Reminder:
Reading SOL – May 9th & May 10th
Math SOL – May 18th & 19th
**All of our SOL tests are in the Morning, so it is very unlikely that your student
will need to stay after school to finish their test!
SOL Vocab List
This Week:
You may have noticed your students new word list last night –
this list is a compilation of all the frequently missed words on the previous
quizzes. There are 12 words. Students are still not expected to spell them on
their own; however, they DO need to know what the word means and how to answer
a question that uses that word! The quiz will be on Friday.
This will be the last week of SOL Vocab word lists.
Fidgets: Keep them at home!
As you may or may not know, Fidgets are a new “hot” item for
students. These fidgets are meant to be used as tools to help students
concentrate if they are unable to focus on tasks, have anxiety, or otherwise
need an adaptation to help them successfully navigate the school day.
Fidgets have increasingly become a distraction and are being
used as toys in our classroom. As such, Fidgets are no longer allowed unless previously
discussed and decided on by parent and teacher communication. Please keep them
at home!
*As a note, fidgets are not allowed in the SOL testing
environments.
