Remember Maps Testing is this Week


A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS WEEK:

Encourage, don't pressure.

Encourage your child to do their best, but avoid putting on the pressure. Too much pressure can cause test anxiety and lead to worse, not better, scores. Understand that standardized tests are just one way schools measure a child's ability.


Give the "brain food."

Give your child a healthy breakfast in the morning - remember that good nutrition fuels brains year- round.


Put them to Bed Early

Sleepy students have a tough time succeeding academically and do we all. It's particularly important for your student to get a good night's sleep the night before a test. For most elementary school children about 10 hours of sleep every night is best.


Aim High

Finally aim high and encourage them to do their best this will help them believe in themselves and they will do well.

I have full faith in all my students make sure they hear that from you.

Have a great week and welcome back.
