April 15-19, 2013
The TCAP test is NEXT WEEK! We’ve been working hard to get ready and make sure we have some test-taking strategies in our back-pocket! We know to take our time, read carefully, listen to instructions, stay on the right page, relax, mark out silly or unrealistic answer choices, reread, bubble in circles heavy and complete, and most importantly…believe in ourselves!
Parents, you can help us too! Serve us healthy meals during the week, make sure we get lots of rest, get us to school on time every morning, and encourage us to do our best each day!
It's TCAP BootCamp Week!:
Monday-“Sock it” to the TCAP!
Wear mismatched socks.
Tuesday-“I’m a JEAN-ius!”

Wednesday-“Paint the halls ADVANCED!” Wear blue.
Thursday-“Be all you can be!”
