It’s that time of year again. Standardized testing in LSSD is called our TCAP test. We begin with our testing on Monday, April 23- 27. Please be sure that your child gets a good nights rest of 8 or more hours each night as well as a good breakfast. The students have worked hard all year and if they have studied and tried their hardest then they will do well on their TCAP. Please discuss how important it is for your child to pay attention and read all directions on their tests.

My seventh grade students start their first TCAP assessment tomorrow ( Dec 6th) we have a constructive  response test on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week for Reading/Language, Math and then Science. THIS IS A REAL TCAP TEST. Please make sure you are n time to school, eat breakfast and get a good nights sleep.

We are going to be creating our own butter next week in lab. We are in need of heavy cream and bread to spread it on after we make the butter.

Report cards will be issued to all students on Wednesday, September 28th.

Our standards are getting progressively more complex. Please discuss with your child how important it is to pay attention in class and ask questions if they do not understand something.  The sixth graders are beginning to understand that they are at a new level in their educational careers and are beginning to buckle down and work hard and study. I am proud of them for meeting this new level of education so well. The sixth grade is a difficult transition year as many of you are very aware of. Please encourage your child and let them know that they can do this and be successful.

If you ever have any questions for me always feel free to call the school and/or e-mail me at any time. E-mail responses are quicker because I am only around a phone less than 1/2 hour a day but I can get to my e-mail almost at any time.

I can hardly believe we have finished the first 9 weeks and I know everyone is ready for the Fall break.

We have had a great start to our new year.

Reminder: Progress reports will come home tomorrow August 31st, 2011

Welcome to my new webpage. I will update as we have new assignments and projects. I will set new posts to keep you updated with what we are doing in class. I teach 6th and 7th grade science so look at the heading to find your child’s grade to get the proper updates because 6th and 7th graders do not study the same material and therefore do not have the same assignment requirements.

This will be a great year and we have gotten off to a great start so far.

Mrs. Holland
