For the Week of January 12-16

Students will be taking the IOWA tests this week. One factor that makes a huge difference in a student's ability to perform well on tests is the amount of sleep he/she has received the night before the test. Another factor is getting the fuel, through nutritious food, which supports the hard work the brain is going to be given that day. By making sure our Prairieview students get to bed early enough to enjoy a full night's sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, and encouraging them to do their best work, we can be confident that we will have accurate test results. Accurate test results are important because they help to inform our practice as teachers - what have we learned and on what do we need to focus.
