Weekly Update

Thank you everyone that participated in Go Green Week. I know we all had a lot of fun learning ways we can help our environment.

I'm sure everyone is excited about the Redbirds Field Trip this week! Directions and details have been sent to chaperones. Please remember to wear Tiger Blue on Tuesday.

ThinkShow is also this week. The country brochures look amazing and it is clear all of the students put a lot of hard work into them. I know the jurors will be impressed with all the talent in third grade! Please remember, narratives are due by Tuesday. The directions and a sample were sent home Friday and I also emailed them out. It is important that we have them Tuesday to set up for ThinkShow. As a class, we have been working on our hallway display for ThinkShow.

THIS IS IT!

This is it! We've been working so hard, and the kids are READY, READY, READY to RULE the TCAP!!!

There are many things you can do as a parent right at home to help your child feel confident about this upcoming week. 1. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep the night before the tests. Adequate sleep will help your child stay alert and focus their attention.

2. Have your child eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the test. Eating the right foods helps your child maintain the energy he or she needs to focus on a test.

3. Encourage your child to think positively about testing by focusing on what they already know. Some scientists believe that positive thinking can help students' brains perform better during stressful situations, such as testing.

4. Help eliminate discomfort and distractions by having your child dress comfortably on the day of the tests. They may want to bring a sweater because the AC will be running.
