Week of May 3rd-7th

Hello Everybody!

This week is going to be a busy one! Starting Tuesday the 4th we will be having STAR tests. Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00 to 11:30 we will be doing the language part of the test. We will be doing the math part next week. Please make sure your student gets a good night sleep and a great breakfast in the morning. One thing that always helped me during tests was dressing up a little. It made me feel more confident and relaxed. Just a thought though. I am sure all the students will do great on this test. I will be performing some test prep stuff this week to refresh their memories. Here is the website with some release questions from past tests if you want to have your student do some practice at home.
