Children love to dig through a giant plastic container of bricks and start creating and building – houses, super heroes, castles and airplanes will appear before your eyes in no time! Brick building is a great hands-on activity that encourages creativity, promotes team work and enhances children’s self- esteem. At BrickSpace, we use these wonderful LEGO® bricks and educational products to facilitate building classes that introduce science, technology, engineering, mathematics (S.T.E.M.) concepts in a fun way! Brick building enhances children’s critical thinking, communication and fine motor skills. Through our building classes, we challenge children to use their imagination and their knowledge of engineering and science to problem solve: they design, build, test and evaluate using set criteria. Children can expect to “fail” safely and they are encouraged to come up with solutions to their problem. Through their building successes, kids build confidence and will develop the desire to learn more. We will be offering a parent/student engagement class after school on March 9 2:45-4:15. We will be providing snacks and drinks for those who attend. Please make sure you include this in your weekly newsletters. We also offer classes to our 3rd-8th graders during lunch time once a month.
Grades 3-8: Please start practicing SBAC
Good Morning Teachers,
It's a good time to start having students explore the CAASPP Practice & Training Tests. This will help prepare them for the CAASPP summative that they will be taking in just over 8 weeks. CDE has just released the California Science Test (CAST) Training Test as well. Please go to www.fsusd.org/assessment and click on the green button "SBAC Practice & Training Tests" to access the site. Students and teachers can access as a Guest at school or home. Once you get logged as Guest, you'll need to select a grade. Be sure to select Grades 5, 8, or 10 if you want to take the California Science Test (CAST). The training test for the California Science Test (CAST) is now available on the Online Practice and Training Tests Portal Web page at http://www.caaspp.org/practice-and-training/
SBAC and CAST testing window will be May 8 - 19
MAP testing will be from May 22 - June 2
If you need help with any of the steps, contact the Help Desk at 399-5100.
