Sorting and Graphing quiz
-A review package has been sent home for your child to complete. They do not need to return it to school if they understand the content. If they have troubles with any part of the review package they should bring it to school and show me where they are having difficulty and I will reteach the required concepts. Throughout the week in school we will be reviewing the concepts needed for the quiz on Friday. Please help to settle your child...this is their first quiz and we have done a lot of discussing in class about not stressing about the quiz. I have assured them that I am looking to find out what they know not what they don't know. In other words there will be no surprises on the quiz.I have told them that I will be showing them the quiz on Thursday (to help calm any jitters).
