CRT testing will be April 22-24. The fifth graders take three tests, each of them with two parts. This means that they will test in the morning and afternoon of each of the three days. Their only homework assignment for the week is to get to bed earlier than usual and eat a healthy, low-sugar breakfast and come ready to work hard and do their very best.
These tests will require their full concentration. To help with this, I am asking for parents to bring in some healthy snacks for those test days. You can send in the food Monday morning and I'll take it from there. Your child will volunteer you for this, if this does not work for you, please email me and I'll make arrangements, or talk to me at conferences on Friday.
Snack ideas: (we have a peanut allergy in the classroom, so please no peanut butter)
crackers like graham crackers, saltines, or Ritz
string cheese
salami or ham slices
carrots or cucumbers and ranch dressing to dip
apple slices or orange slices
bananas or grapes
pretzels and cheese cubes
granola bars (low sugar)
dried fruit
applesauce cups with spoons
yogurt cups with spoons
There are so many options. No need to be very elaborate here, just so that we have no hunger distractions during the testing.
I also need a few people to bring in napkins and plates.
Please make sure your child has a water bottle in the classroom as well.
As always, if you have any questions, please email me. Have a great weekend!
