Third Grade ELA Ohio State Tests
|
Third grade students will be taking part one and two of the English Language Arts test on
Monday, October 21st and Tuesday October 22nd.
By helping your child become physically and mentally prepared, you are helping them lower any feelings of test anxiety. Test anxiety is a very common experience; however, with some preparation, can be reduced and improve their performance.
Please help your son/daughter prepare by:
-
Getting an adequate night's sleep (8-10 hours)
-
Wake up on time to avoid rushing and arrive to school on time
-
Eat a nutritious breakfast
-
Reminding them to listen closely to all directions and read the directions carefully
-
Answer questions they know first, and come back to the harder questions later
When your child feels confident in their test taking skills, they will have less test anxiety and be able to focus on doing their best and showing what they have learned.
Make-Up Testing dates: October 23rd and 25th

Family and Community Engagement (FACE)
|
Hi Fairview families,
I know as parents that we always worry about how are children are doing mentally, physically, socially and academically in school and at home. Of course, if you have any concerns about your child, as a district, we want you to contact your child's mentor teacher in grades 6-12 or their homeroom teacher in grades K-5 as the first order of defense. If things have not improved within a week or two, then include your child's guidance counselor in the discussion. In the meantime, it may also be good to talk to your child's pediatrician. Here is a great article about this.

On October 31st, the third graders at Gilles-Sweet will be taking a walking field trip down West 220th Street to see some of the historical homes in Fairview Park. As a part of our social studies curriculum, we are learning about how Fairview Park has changed over time and the history of our historical homes. We will be leaving at 10:00 and the walking tour should last around an hour to an hour and a half. We will be back in time for our regular lunch in the cafeteria.
