We Survived TCAP! =)

Thanks for doing your best on the test!

Love,

Ms. Dawn

P.S.: How do you like the promotion countdown?

Yeah!!!

Happy Spring Break my dear students!  Please be safe, relax a little, have loads of fun... oh yeah, and look over your TCAP study sheet every now and then {sorry I had to put that in there}.  


Love, =)
Ms. Dawn


P.S.: Remember if you bring your TCAP review sheet back with a parent signature confirming that you did, in fact, study some you'll get extra credit in writing class!

TCAP Testing Tips

What to do now...
1. have good attendance (we will be preparing each day for the big test, so don't miss out and do your best to not be tardy)
2. review at home
3. ask questions if you are still having a challenge with something covered in class (remember our class is a safe zone to share ideas and form questions)
4. be on your best behavior and stay focused during class time (even if you feel like you've got it together academically, the person next to you may not and it's unfair to take away from his/her education by being distracting)
5. take study notes on a topic that is challenging you so you can review them later

What to do on the test days...
1. get a good night's sleep each night
2. eat a healthy breakfast to jumpstart your brain daily
3. come to school on time (don't be tardy)
4. eliminate incorrect answers
5. underline key information in the questions
6. bubble in your answers completely (with a #2 pencil), making sure you are in the correct spot on your answer sheet
7. triple check your answers if you finish early
8. check the time periodically and pace yourself (if time is almost up and you have unanswered questions go ahead and bubble in an answer for each question, so you at least have a chance, and then if there's more time go back over them)
9. take deep breathes and stretch your hands/arms to relieve tension
10. believe in yourself and know that I believe in you, too   

Remember these tips!  I think you're going to do GREAT!

Love,
Ms. Dawn
