Ok, so that is an old one, but it always makes me
laugh. I figured it was a great way to kick off our testing
week.
I truly am excited about this week. I know it
will be a great week for the kids to show off their skills.
One of the reasons that I chose this clip is because it is
the opposite of you guys. Our students won’t walk into a testing
environment without you truly KNOWING them. That relationship truly has
and will make all the difference.
Utilize today as a “relationship day.” It is a day to
pump them up and let them know that you care. They know it to be true
because they know you too.
Remember what I talk about a lot during testing weeks.
You have an aura and an energy. It is something science cannot fully
explain. When you get on an elevator, you know if the couple in the back
is fighting even if they aren’t talking. You know when the person in
front of you at the grocery store is having a bad day. We all give off an
energy. I cannot stress how for this week, our energy must be positive
and light. If you are worried or anxious, they are worried and
anxious. If you are calm and ready, they are calm and ready.
Without a doubt, you have developed these kids by knowing
them first. That is true education….that is caring for them deeply.
Thank you for that!
Happy Monday!
