Our week of testing is right around the corner! We have studied hard and grown a lot since the start of the school year. I am very proud of the dedication to excellence demonstrated by your children. It is now their time to shine and show what they have learned!
On March 13, students will be start taking our SBAC tests. I have a SECRET
MISSION that requires your assistance to create a SURPRISE activity for each child! I believe this activity will help motivate your child during the upcoming testing days. My goal is for your child to walk into the classroom on each day of testing to find words of encouragement waiting for them on their desks from the people that mean the most to them… their family and friends!
This is where you come in. Today I sent home five different colored sheets labeled day 1 through day 5. Please write a short note of encouragement to your child on each of the notes. It would be wonderful if you could also involve siblings, friends, or close relatives. Feel free to decorate the notes with stickers or drawings… the more personalized the notes are the better. (Please make sure their first name is on top of each page even if you mention a nickname.)
These notes are meant to help remind your child each day that they have a support team behind them and that you believe in them. Please return completed messages by Wednesday, March 11, in a SEALED envelope. Please remember this is a SURPRISE ACTIVITY and the children do not know what the notes are for.
Thank you for your support throughout this year and on this MISSION! I look forward to
watching each day as your children read notes of heartfelt words from their families and
friends. I know your words of encouragement will mean the world to them.
