TCAP/Terra Nova
We will be taking the TCAP/Terra Nova
tests during the week of April 14. We will start on Tuesday, April 15
and finish on Friday, April 18. I will assign only R-A-H homework and
some cursive license related work. We have spent this week (and will
spend the next two weeks) reviewing information that will be tested.
Next week we will begin using review booklets that are in the same
format as the tests. Already, I can see that the review has been
helpful. Practicing takes some of the mystery and “scare” out of the
tests.
Bike Ride
Sometime in May (tentatively May 9) we will have a bike ride
on the Erwin Linear Trail. Right now, I’m trying to do some preliminary
work to find out who needs to borrow a bike or a helmet and who doesn’t
yet ride independently. If you could fill out the attached information
sheet -and return it as soon as possible, I would appreciate it.
I will be glad to help locate a bike and/or helmet if
necessary. I have also located a website that gives tips on how to
teach young bike riders. This is just one of many that you can find if
you Google “teaching bike riding”:
http://www.ibike.org/education/teaching-kids.htm
The primary tip that is given is to
first
let children find the balance of the bike while they have their feet
close to the ground and can quickly put them down to keep from falling.
In addition to working on bike riding at home, we will
provide practice time and instruction at school.
Thanks!

Homework
Homework for the next two weeks will
be review for Terra Nova (also known as TCAPs). This week we are
concentrating on Math. There is an answer key in the front of the
booklet, please check your child’s work and help them make corrections.
The work that is coming home is very similar to the review work that we
will be doing in class.
If you have any questions, you can
email me at
Floyds@etsu.edu.
Thanks!
Alert!
Third graders have been exposed to a
case of mononucleosis. If you would like more information about
