Spring is here…and for most of us spring means warm weather, sunshine and time to plant flowers. However, for teachers and students, it is a time for our final assessments. Your child will be taking the final NWEA, M-Step, district exams, and chapter tests. It is important for schools and teachers to determine how much progress your child has made. It is an opportunity for us to determine if what we are teaching is sticking with your child. Please make sure your child gets enough rest and breakfast in the morning. These tests are long. Several students have a hard time staying focused. I will try to give them breaks, and perhaps a snack if needed. We all need to do our part to insure the best outcomes. Thanks…enjoy the season….
