It's that time of year again where things begin to get really hectic. Next week you will take the state assessment for ELA. As the test approaches, I wanted to take a few minutes to remind you all of a few things. First, you are not a number. You are not a one, a two, a three, or a four. What you ARE is an awesome group of kids who are not defined by the score you receive on the ELA, math, or science state tests. Over the past few weeks I have admired your hard work and perseverance as we have prepared for these assessments. Each day you have given your best effort and as your teacher that is all I can ask for. I thank you for hard work, positive attitude, and most of all your patience, as the days have sometimes gotten a little crazy. When you take your ELA test next week I only ask one thing of you. Each day when you finish and close your test booklet, I want you to ask yourself two questions:
1. Am I proud of what I have done?
2. Will my family be proud of the effort I gave?
If your answer to either question is "no," then go back and do what you can to make the answer a "yes." I am already proud of you and the effort you have given. Keep that momentum going next week.
I've got the moves baby,
Mr. Fletcher
