Week 32! What? I have no idea where the time goes. This year has absolutely flown by, faster than any of the last three years I have been in the classroom. Even the students have commented they can’t believe the year is nearly over. We have just ten short weeks left with so much learning in store.
SAGE Testing Schedule
Our annual summative testing begins after spring break. With that in mind, it is important that your child rests well, eats healthy meals and comes to school on time in order to do his/her best. These things are important for your child every day, but are particularly important during testing in order to eliminate anxiety that can come with taking an exam. We have regular conversations in the classroom that this assessment is simply an opportunity for students to show what they know, and to demonstrate what they have been working so hard on all year.
Although SAGE is only one measure of your child’s progress, it is important to enter into the test with an attitude of working hard and doing their best. (When would we ever encourage a child not to do their best?) Students often reflect what has been discussed at home, if you model a positive attitude toward the test, your child is likely to do better when test time arrives.
If you have any questions about testing, please let me know.
