Dear Parents,
If you have not had the opportunity to begin our TCAP challenge, then you are in luck! Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program practice books went home on Friday, in order for you to work with your child at home! These practice books are THE SAME as the online resource, so if you have already completed the challenge you may keep the books for extra practice.
These practice tests are a GREAT way to have your child prepare for TCAP. The questions are in TCAP format, and there are four sections: reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies. Remember, everything must be checked and signed by an adult! (The answer key is in the back of the book. Please tear it out BEFORE your child begins the practice tests). One of the most important elements of this at home practice, is to review your child's answers, and revisit anything that was incorrect.
Every student who takes the time to do this extra TCAP practice will be handsomely rewarded with picnic lunches! For every section that is completed (there are four), students will enjoy a picnic lunch with the fourth grade teachers. Every section they complete will equal one picnic lunch. For example, if students complete all four sections, they will earn four days of outside lunch!
Please send the completed sections, CHECKED BY AN ADULT, to school by Friday, April 20. We will celebrate the students’ hard work the week of April 30. As always, thank you for your support!
