WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!!
I hope that all of you had a very restful Christmas break and are ready to come back and work, work, work!!!!! We only have 8 weeks until our first TAKS test. This means that we will by very busy getting you ready to PASS that test!!
The 4th grade will be taking their writing TAKS test for the first and only time on March 4, 2008. Get out those pencils and get ready to write your best! I know all of you are going to pass and do extremely well!! Just make sure you eat a very good and healthy breakfast and get plenty of sleep the night before.
The 5th grade will be taking their first round of the reading TAKS test on March 4, 2008. This test is extremely important!! If you DO NOT pass this test, you will have to repeat the 5th grade. I know that every one of you has the ability to pass the test. Try your best and you will succeed!!
Parents you can help your children to prepare for both of these test by making sure that they get plenty of rest the night before the test and making sure they eat a healthy breakfast before they leave for school. You should also be encouraging your children to read for 20 - 30 minutes every night. Practice makes perfect and the more practice they get, the more they will achieve!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work. We are going to have a wonderful second semester!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kerri Mizell
