Well.....tomorrow (March 9th) starts our annual testing blitz for our students. So...the question is "How can I help my child now?". Well, that's a great question! You can help your student by:
*Making sure they get a good night's rest EVERY night.
*Provide a healthy breakfast. Protein filled items like peanut butter toast, eggs, and cheese are great "brain food"!
*Encourage your child to do their best every day. We talk about how they can "FOCUS" on each individual question. Use the word, "FOCUS" with them as well.
*Lastly, help them to relax and pace themselves. Did you know the pace of taking a test is critical to their success. Students need to "feel" what 60 minutes of testing feels like. Time them by practicing homework or other practice items.
When the scores come back in May, celebrate your child's accomplishments. Encouragement goes a long way for future success.
