1) Our campus will be closed to visitors Tuesday - Friday due to testing that will be happening throughout the building. (Including our own on Tuesday and Wednesday!)
2) The temperature in our room has been very unpredictable. Keeping a light jacket in the classroom will be helpful!
3) BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS! The only thing we are allowed to do when the test is finished is read. Make sure your child has at least one good book to read after the test. (There are books in our classroom library, but the kids will not be able to walk across the room to check out any books from me while we are still testing).
4) SNACKS! We will break for a quick snack during the day. (Just like our normal school days.)
5) Your children have been working so hard! They are going to do great. They've started to express a little bit of fear about the test next week. I think it's more of a fear of the unknown. I assured them that they are all ready for this test, and told them that it's MY job to make sure they're ready. One less thing for them to have to think about! :o) You can help my making sure they get plenty of sleep in the nights leading up to the test.
6) We have been using this website to review our math in class: http://perspective.pearsonaccess.com/perspective/appmanager/tx/family
I told the kids that I would send this home to you because many of them wanted to use it over the weekend! (Especially those who have been absent). I do have one favor though: If you do use the website this weekend, stick with the math review. We are going to do the reading review in class using laptops on Monday!
Have a great weekend!
