It is true that we test one more day than the rest of the grades, but that is because we have 2 different science tests. We will get through it, we have worked hard on our stamina and I know they will do their very best!
SNACKS: I do not do a breakfast or a "party" prior to testing. I have always encouraged my students to get their game faces on early and focus on what our job is. As far as snacks go, I allow my students to eat while they are testing, gum chewing and mints are also allowed. Please avoid too many sweets and pack healthy snacks. Also, please try to avoid greasy foods as they will be on their computer the entire time. They may use a lunch box to store anything cold under their seat. A wet hand wipe in a baggie is also encouraged.
**Any foods that come in a noisy wrapper need to be opened up and placed into a ziplock type of bag. These are much quieter and will not distract other students. Please also make sure your child has a water bottle each of the testing days.
This is obviously a difficult time for your children. I know these schedules are hard to keep track of, but it is critical that they have plenty of food, and plenty of sleep each day. They are hard working little people and I know they will do their part. Let's make them as comfortable and as prepared as we can!
