FCAT Preparation Made Fun
February 9, 2008
The FCAT exams being next week in Escambia County, and North Escambia Schools have been busy preparing students for the annual tests.
This next week, students in grades four, eight and ten will take the writing portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. Students in grades six, seven and nine will take the Escambia Writes! test, a district test similar to the FCAT.
Friday, students at Bryneville Elementary School learned more about writing from Kent and Gloria Fox and their puppet Sally. Mr. Fox was an MCA Recording artist and is a songwriter and videographer. Mrs. Fox is children’s author and illustrator, and is a nationally recognized puppeteer. They travel to elementary and middle schools motivating students to learn writing and other skills. They also recently appeared at Bratt Elementary School.
