Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 4-18-15

Parents,

Reading - Due to the disruptions of 3 tests both this week and next, your child will not have a spelling list or ELA sheet.  Of course nightly reading is still expected, and your child should be keeping track of his/her reading on the reading log.

Testing - One test down!  Students worked really hard today, and we are very proud of their efforts.

Here are a few things you can do to help assure your child does his/her best on the test:
  • Be sure that your child gets plenty of rest each night before the testing
  • In the morning, be sure your child has a healthy, nourishing breakfast.
  • Try to send your child off to school with a positive word encouraging him/her to try their best. 
  • Many parents have also sent a letter of encouragement for their child to open before the tests. (You'd be amazed at what big smiles kids will get reading these!)
  • Each child is allowed and encouraged to have a water bottle at their desk to use when they are thirsty.
  • Comfy clothes since the kids will be seated at the computers for long stretches of time.
