Next Monday and Tuesday Is Star Testing For Charlie

Monday and Tuesday is STAAR testing for Charlie. Let me share something with you.  I am scared to death to see how Charlie does on the STAAR test. Because in my heart I am not sure Charlie will pass either his math test or reading test.

Although he did make a 88 on the practice STAAR test. The reason Charlie made such a good grade was his teachers was able to help everyone on it. So with the real STAAR test I am not sure if the teachers are allowed to help or not. So Please pray for Charlie.

Because Charlie ends up getting so nervous that it makes him sick at his stomach and with the pain from his stomach he can not focus on the test. So he ends up getting distracted and doesn’t finish the test  even though he knows the answers.

Now,  I haven’t brought the test up as to Charlie as I  didn’t want to cause Charlie to start worrying about them. So I have just been praying and figured tomorrow we would start talking about the STAAR test as it will give me time to prepare Charlie for them on Monday and Tuesday.

As  I was going through Charlie’s  back pack I found this book marker with tips on making the test easier for our children. So I thought you might like to check it out as well. Especially if your children are like Charlie.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
