The 3rd grade program was all about Benchmark testing. Next week is the BIG week at Benton public schools. It's all about the test scores. Sarah does not need anybody to push her to perfection. She does that all by herself. I just facilitate the process. The play was cute. The picture with the hands up is the kids screaming with test anxiety. This really does bother me. I get a new note every day about the tests. I need to send food, snacks, and personal notes of encouragement. Mrs. Beggs needs help prepping some things. Can I come in early? Not to mention a good breakfast, 8 hours sleep and a calm living environment. I will not be subbing at all next week. Only certified teachers are allowed near the test. The answer sheets do not leave their sight. If necessary, they go to the bathroom with them.
I am more than glad to volunteer and help. It makes Sarah happy and that alone is reason enough for me. I just feel the pressure and I am not even taking the test. Even Jamie, who notices NOTHING will tell you the teachers are stressing. They will both do well because they are good students. I will do everything on my end possible to smooth it out. Pray for a peaceful week in my house. I will try to relax.
