Newsletter #33 4/27/15 Mr. Roets’ Class 9010 East Southport Road Email: [email protected] Website: ajoets.weebly.com Hello, Families! This is going to be a very interesting week. IDOE has changed the format of the ISTEP test due to some server errors, and we are still awaiting how this test is going to work in the coming days or weeks. Please be flexible with us as we get it all sorted out! We had originally planned to have this week’s math test and social studies test to be done as a group in class. Students will have access to their textbook, classmates, and myself. The math test will be done with me doing example problems on the front board. We are going to keep this plan the same in case the ISTEP tests are ready for this week. To help both your child and myself through the rest of this school year, please make sure your child is getting adequate sleep and coming to school ready to go! I’m have to keep a lot of heads up in the first 20 minutes of the morning! We’re nearly done with the year, so let’s all push on through to the end…these kids are so close to being middle schoolers! (Can you believe it?!) Enjoy your week!
