It's hard to believe that testing is here. Tomorrow Texas students begin their first round of testing. My 7th graders will be taking the Writing TAKS, which includes writing a composition and finding grammar errors in selected pieces of literature. Besides putting in their best efforts, I'm hoping that they'll remember to do a few more things:
1. go to bed 1/2 hour early.
2. eat a healthy breakfast.
3. drink plenty of water (a dehydrated brain doesn't function properly).
4. do all the easy questions first.
5. do all the difficult questions last.
6. do their best on each question, as if it is the only question on the test.
I wish you all the best!
