EQAO

Final reminder - please bring something keep themselves entertained, quietly and independently!  We just brainstormed as a class and came up with:

-water bottle
-puzzles
-slime/play doh
-books (e reader is okay...), comics, magazines
-sketch pad
-note pad
-fully stocked pencil case

No electronics please or anything that could distract others.

I'm not making an official announcement...but I told the kids, if I don't 'see them chewing gum' and they think that will help them write, then they may bring gum.

I just took a survey asking the class for 1word to describe their feelings toward the test on Monday....the most common response was 'nervous and excited'.

Hopefully there isn't a question that asks for only 1 word  answers....

I've reminded them that this doesn't impact their marks, and the only thing that matters to me is that they try their best.

Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.
