Test Time!
Rested and Ready to Rock!
SOL Prep Edition
Tomorrow, your children will take the first part of their reading SOL test. They will take the second part on Wednesday. For weeks, I have been making sure that they realize they can read and read quite well.
Today, I gave them a three-section practice SOL test. I am very pleased to tell you that they ALL passed with flying colors. Please stress to your children tonight to relax and do their best. This test has nothing to do with going to fifth grade, nothing to do with grades, and nothing to do with any classes for next year. As I tell your children, the SOL shows me how I am doing teaching you, not how well you can read or do math.
There was no homework tonight. There will be none tomorrow. (There will be some Thursday.) All I ask of you is to make sure they get a good night's sleep, eat a solid breakfast, and get to school on time and they'll take it from there. They are ready and are going to their best. That is all I can ask of them.
