Post Spring Break Tutoring and Testing

After Spring Break, students return to classes with just six full weeks left in this school year, so please make note of the following to end it with your best work!
Tutoring Schedule Change
Beginning the week school is back in session, April 8, I will be offering tutoring to students on Wednesday mornings only from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.

EOG, Milestones & Reading Inventory Tests
Spring Break ushers in the testing season, which is particularly important for 8th grade students. I encourage all students to use the IXL resource to practice and study for test. The link to IXL is on the "Links" list on the right side of the blog. I posted directions for logging into individual student accounts. Please search the hashtag FLOYDIXL on this blog, or see the letter posted in the Class Document Library. 

READING :20 MINUTES A DAY IS A MUST!!! 

Eighth-graders will take the following tests:

1. EOGs (End of Grade) exams before high school placement. 
2. Milestones state testing and
3. Reading Inventory (RI) to determine Lexile scores for placement in high school classes as well. Eighth-grade students must score minimum of 1010 to be promoted.

During testing season, it is especially important that students are well-rested, keeping healthy eating habits, and getting a full night's sleep in order to be their best to for these tests.
Taking care of your health and well-being step number one in preparing for success!
