Howdy!   I sent a note home today reminding students about the FUN Test Practice Link that I added to our BLOG!   It is on the left hand side bar at the bottom and it is called  “UTIPS!”   I took time today to show the kids how to login and take the test!   They were all cheering!   I can tell they are excited to practice!   The point of this is to help the children get familiar with the wording of the questions.   Another reason, is that the test is taken in the Computer Lab…so it will also help them get used to taking the text on the computer.   They will need to read texts on the computer and rework math problems on scratch paper!!! So overall, it is a little bit different than they are used to!     The GOAL for the children is to take each test and pass with 85% or higher. Please have your child retake the test if they scored below the 85%!   If you have any questions let me know!
