Be confident! You can do it!
This week students will take the Reading the Math FCAT test. Reading will be Tuesday and Wednesday for 60 minutes. Math will be given on Thursday for also 60 minutes. Students are ready to prove just how well equip they are with plenty of reading and math strategies. Mrs. Tsengas and I are so proud of every student this year and we know you all will do fabulous!
Below are some tips and suggestions just to calm and reassure your child, and yourself, about what to do the days prior to testing.
*Encourage your child and pump them up about how well they are going to do. A positive outlook helps children do their best.
*Arrive at school early or on-time.
*Make sure that your child is well rested and eats a good nourishing breakfast. Thank you for the parents who have donated animal crackers, small candies, granola bars and juice as a nice way to refresh before the test begins. We appreciate your generosity!
*Give your child a well-rounded diet. This will help ensure a healthy body and a healthy, active mind. Try not to throw off their regular diet on these days.
* Realize that your child may seem more tired than usual after each day of testing.
*Help your child de-stress by reading a simple book to them before bedtime. Children STILL benefit from being read to nightly. :)
* Express your support and confidence in your child to do well on FCAT. Slip a positive note to them in their lunchbox or backpack. Small gestures really do go the farthest.
*Help your child understand that testing is a part of the instructional process, and there is nothing to be feared.

PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND TEACHERS: Take several deep breaths and try to be calm. Remember it is only a test and all the hard work and studying has already been done!
