April 7</strong><br /><br />Test Taking Tips<br /><br />• Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before tests.<br /><br />• Make sure your child doesn’t go to bed or come to school angry or upset.<br /><br />• Have your child present and on time for school. Don’t get up late and have your child rushed and flustered when arriving at school.<br /><br />• See that your child has a well-rounded diet. A healthy body leads to a healthy, active mind. The week of the test, be sure your child eats a healthy breakfast.<br /><br />• Have your child dress in something that makes him/her feel good and is comfortable.<br /><br />• Try not to be overly anxious about test scores. Too much emphasis on test scores can be upsetting to children.<br /><br />• Give your child encouragement. Praise him/her for the things he/she does well.<br /><br />• Encourage your child to pay attention, listen carefully and follow directions during the test.<br /><br />• Read each question carefully.<br /><br />• Read all answer choices carefully.<br /><br />• Read the questions, then the passage.<br /><br />• If you don’t know the answer, eliminate answers that are obviously wrong.<br /><br />• If you guess, stick with your first choice.<br /><br />• Pace yourself. Do not spend too much time on any one question.<br /><br />• Do not leave any answers blank.<br /><br />• Use scratch paper and check your answers.<br /><br />• Bubble correctly. Make horizontal marks across the center. Then circle the outer edges of the bubble making sure it is completely blackened.<br /><br />• Mark the answer sheet correctly. Make sure the number of the question you are on and the number on the answer sheet match.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3382279383031444143-1831232444097039859?l=drberrysblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Berryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298496482284476588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382279383031444143.post-27439572721870078822008-03-13T12:10:00.000-07:002008-03-13T12:14:40.289-07:00<strong>March 3 -7</strong> Read Across America<br /><strong>March 3 </strong> 5th Grade Space Camp<br /> AR Store<br /><strong>March 4</strong> GCS Board Meeting at Walnut Park – Teacher of the Year Recognized<br /><strong>March 6</strong> 1st Grade Field Trip<br /> Enrichment Field Trip<br /><strong>March 7</strong> AESOP 1 p.m.<br /> Dr. Suess Dress Up Day<br /><strong>March 10</strong> PTO Fundraiser ends<br /><strong>March 11</strong> Beta Club Induction 9:30 a.m. in gym<br /><strong>March 13</strong> Spring Pictures – Class & Individual<br /><strong>March 14</strong> Easter Lunch- 2nd &3rd Gr.
