We need you more than ever! Today in class, students wrote letters to themselves expressing their fears and worries over FCAT. Almost every student was afraid of letting their parents down with a low score, or a score that they feel you would not be proud of!
PLEASE
1. Tell your student you are proud of their accomplishments!
2. Encourage your students to do their personal best; that is really all we can ask for!
3. Remember they are in 5th GRADE!!!! What may seem easy to you can be very difficult for them, and they become deflated when they are chastised about "how easy something is."
4. Make sure they get a good nights sleep- after school go for a walk, play outside, or just hang-out- make them feel at ease!!!!
5. Send them to school fed, rested, and ready for the day!!! NO arguing on the way to school!!!
These little suggestions can make a huge difference in how your child FACES their test!!!
Don't forget your snack day, and let the testing begin!!!!
