CRT TEST

CRT testing time is here! We have worked hard all year so that the 3rd graders will perform well on this state mandated standardized test. However, preparing to take a big test like this starts at home! The night before the test days, students need to get a good night’s sleep. Your child needs to eat healthy meals, especially a good breakfast. Students need to get outside to exercise and give their brains a break. Watching too much TV and/or playing video games will only slow their cognitive processing for the next day. Be sure to give them positive comments and feedback as they discuss the test with you. Some students may feel a sense of anxiety before they take the test. For most, this is the first time they have taken a major standardized (fill in the bubble) test. Therefore, encourage your child to relax, think positive thoughts and to take care of their minds and bodies!
