FCAT

Dear Parents,
FCAT is almost here. This week we're having different activities each day to get the kids psyched for the FCAT:
Monday, March 2
Turn Your BACK

on Test Stress
Wear your shirt backwards

Tuesday, March 3
SCORE Your Best

on the Test
Wear your favorite sports attire

Wednesday, March 4
Use Your HEAD
Wear your craziest hair

Thursday, March 5
Be CONFIDENT
Dress up in your best attire

Friday, March 6
SOCK IT To

the Test
Wear colorful socks


As you can see, it's all about making the test less stressful. Another way I'd like to make our three testing days (March 10,11,12) more enjoyable is to serve breakfast before the test and good snacks after the test. If you'd like to contribute to the snacks or breakfast treats please let me know by responding to this e-mail. I'd like easy snacks and a simple continental breakfast each morning.

Another need we have now is PENCILS. I can't seem to have enough available for the students. It would be helpful if each child brought in a pack of 24 to get us through to the end of the year. We sharpen them daily and they're available for all the students.

I'm so thankful for all of you. You seem to respond so generously to our requests. Get your child prepared for the test by planning on an early bed-time and encouraging words each morning.

Your partners in education,

Michelle Goethe & Lara Norton
