Hey parents! We had a great time at Camp Write Along this week!
Your kids did a great job.
Overall we are very prepared for Writing STAAR on Tuesday of next week.
A few things about the STAAR. Your children have worked hard and now
what they need is to relax,
play, rest and eat healthy foods.
That is what will make a difference for them on the
test. Please tell them how proud you are of them and
their hard work! Every single kid in
our class did an incredible job, and they have all had amazing
growth this year.
On Monday we will share our writing with our buddies
and then they will bring it home.
Monday night is a perfect time to compliment their
writing and tell them how prepared they
are to do well. Encourage them not to be stressed and
remind them that doing their best is
all anyone wants.
Our campus will be a closed campus on Tuesday of next week.
You will not be able to come past the Safe and Secure Office if you
are picking up or dropping off items.
Please be sure your child is on time to school.
We will be starting the test at 8:00 so we can get it finished by
lunch time. Please send your child with snacks and a water bottle.
Encourage them to wear comfortable clothes and bring a light sweater
or jacket. They will want books in case they finish early to read.
Again, this is just one day. They are all amazing!
They have had so much incredible growth this year,
and I could not be more proud of them.
