As you have read from Jenny Brown's weekly Principal Updates, TCAP (formally CSAP) will be beginning shortly: March 4, 5, 6, 11, & 12. Please make all possible efforts to have your kiddo in class these days. It is a lot of testing in a short amount of time. Please make sure that during this time your child is well rested and has eaten a great breakfast. Sitting for such a long period of time and thinking that hard can really ware on a person. Here is a brochure put out by the Colorado Department of Education for families concerning state testing.
I'm not a big believer in teaching test prep, but we will review a few things over the next two weeks just so students feel ready for these tests. Also, we will talk about testing format. I know these kids have made great growth this year, I just want them to be able to translate their wonderful thinking to these tests.
