With the 4 day week this week, and NWEA testing, thing are going to look a little different this week. We will NOT be having spelling words, or testing on any spelling words, as I don't want to over tax the kids with test. We will still try to keep things as "normal" as possible and try and fit in our daily work in a shortened form. We will be testing first thing in the mornings on Wednesday and Thursday, so please make sure that your children are to school on time, well rested, and that they have full bellies! We will only be taking the Math and Reading portion of the NWEA tests this go around, but both are very important as we are measuring growth! Please help me by explaining to your child the importance of taking their time during testing and doing their best. We have been talking a lot about perseverance in here, and "growing our brains" by doing things that challenge us and not giving up. There is no time limit on the test, however it's also not recommended to just sit and stare at a question for extremely long periods of time without making some sort of "best guess." Please encourage your child to just do their best, and remind them that you are proud of them for just that, taking their time and doing their best. Please remind them not to rush through their tests and to work hard. I have some fun planned for them this week for all their hard work! This is such a wonderful group of kids, and I am reminded every day just how lucky I am to be their teacher!
