FCAT Week


Dear Parents & Guardians,

Wow! This year is flying by so quickly!  We are starting to focus on FCAT Test-taking strategies in class.  As a reminder, testing will begin on Monday, April 15th and last thru Thursday, April 18th.  It is very important that your child is here every day before the test for review!

We would like for the students to enjoy special a breakfast each morning before testing. The following is a list of suggested items that can be donated.  Please keep in mind that we currently have 44 students in our combined classrooms. Ideally, we would have one specific breakfast each day such as “Muffin Monday”, “Bagel Tuesday,” “Cereal Wednesday” and “Pancake Thursday.” Please contact us if you are interested in covering items for a specifically themed day, otherwise any donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide!

Suggested Items
·      Juice boxes (w/o added sugar)
·      Applesauce/ Fruit cups
·      “Gogurt” (Yogurt packages)
·      Granola bars
·      Cheese sticks
·      Bananas/ Apples/ Raisins
·      Muffins
·      Mini Cereal Boxes/ Milk
·      Biscuits/ Jelly
·      Pancake mix/ Syrup
·      Bagels
·      Plates/ Bowls
·      Forks/ Spoons
·      Napkins/ Kleenex
