Our Science STAAR is next week, can you believe it?! No worries - you're going to do GREAT!
Here are a few important things I want you to remember as you are getting ready to ROCK THIS TEST:
1. Get a good night's rest on Tuesday night!
2. Eat a YUMMY and NUTRITIOUS breakfast on Wednesday!
3. Arrive at school on time on Wednesday.
4. Read and REREAD the questions! Sometimes, I notice that we miss answers on our practice questions because we read to fast or don't read all of the question before we pick our answer. That is silly! Read the question, read the answer choices, and then read the question again. Please don't rush! You know your stuff, you've got LOTS of knowledge in your brain! Take the time to sort through all of that information for EACH question, and write down evidence that supports your answers. Double check your answers before you bubble them in on your answer sheet!
5. Eliminate incorrect answers. We use the 50-50 strategy A LOT! Remember to eliminate answers that you know are wrong - that will help you find the correct answer!
6. TAKE NOTES in your test booklet! Write down important things or information you know about each question.
7. TAKE YOUR TIME. Please don't rush through your test. There is no prize for finishing first, I promise. Do your very very best work, and double check it before you turn it in.
You guys know your stuff. Don't stress - you're going to do GREAT!
