FCAT

I am long overdue for an update on the class! So here it is....

Well, the FCAT is officially over for third graders at John Love Elementary. They have worked so hard all year, it is my hope that this is reflected in their scores. They were really pumped up about it! They performed a song I created called "Never Give Up" , sung to the tune of "I can transform ya" by Chris Brown. They performed this song at our FCAT Parent Night in January, and also during a school pep rally. The song lyrics incorporated strategies that they have been using and will use in reading and math. I have even caught them singing the songs in class to remember skills/strategies!!!

We are currently wrapping up the year in Reading, focusing on our writing skills to prepare for the 4th grade writng FCAT. Although the students (and teachers) are relieved to be done with this years FCAT, we want to make sure we are prepared for next year! So its, work, work, work until June!!!
