Wed. - 2nd, 4th & 5th Period's will bring drinks and snacks.
Thurs. - 1st & 3rd Periods will bring drinks and snacks.
(If you will send drinks, you can send those early as I will ice them down so they can be ready)

Suggested menu: If you have other ideas, please share with me via email.

HW for the Week of March 9th-13th

NO HOMEWORK - FCAT Week

Some tips to remember!

Remember to:
Get plenty of rest the night before testing.
Set an alarm and ask someone to check to make sure I am up in plenty of time.
Shower in the morning to feel more alert.
Eat a good breakfast before leaving for school.
Arrive at school on time on testing days.
Check the schedule every day, so that I know what to expect.
Answer every question, even those that are difficult. (There is no penalty for guessing.)
Read all the answer choices before deciding on the best answer.
Avoid spending too much time on any one item. (This is a timed test.)
Keep my concentration throughout the test.
Write on the test to help me think.
Check frequently to make sure I am in the right place on my answer sheet. (Getting off by one number can be disastrous!)
Take a deep breath or stretch a little bit every now and then to stay alert.

YOU can do it!!
