Tests
About 2-3 tests will be given each marking period for Math,
Science, and Social Studies.
For English Language Arts students will take weekly tests
(about 7-8 each marking period) on spelling/vocabulary, grammar, and
comprehension. At the end of the 1st and 2nd marking periods, I will drop one
of the lowest grades in spelling/vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension.
In 3rd grade, reading comprehension tests are always given
on Thursday. On Friday, students take their spelling/vocabulary and grammar
tests on concepts taught that week.
For weeks that are shorter, tests dates may be moved to
Mondays of the following week so students have more time to study. They may
also have more than 1 test that week.
If students are absent on test days, they have to be ready
to take the tests when they come back to school. Concepts on these tests have
been already taught throughout the week and students should study/review to
prepare for their tests.
*Please check the weekly test schedule regularly for test dates.
*The teacher holds the right to change test dates. Students
will be told in advanced if any changes will be made.
* Retakes and extra credit are NOT guaranteed and will be
determined by the teacher.
