FCAT Assistance

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am reaching out to you for your support and assistance in helping to ensure your child is successful. On April 11-14, 2011 your child will take the Reading and Mathematics portions of the FCAT. Your child must score a level 3 or higher, equivalent to 70% - 100%.

In the classroom, I am teaching the children several standards that will be tested in Reading and numerous standards that are tested in Mathematics. In addition, I’m reviewing for some and teaching to others, several skills that the children should have learned in previous grades (telling time, simple addition, simple subtraction, simple fractions) and so on. To add on, I’m teaching the students Reading and Math test taking strategies. For instance, how to find their answers in the reading stories, how to determine which information is necessary for them to solve their math problems and so much more. Even with everything that I’m doing to help them, they require additional assistance. Therefore, from me and your child, I’m asking for your help. FCAT links are also posted on the left of this blog.

Thank you,

Mrs. Bridges
