• STAAR Testing: This year your child will be taking the Reading and Math STAAR tests (May 12th and 13th).  Please, do not have your child "practice" the online STAAR tests at home. This puts additional stress and anxiety on your child. Let's remember, your child is 8 or 9 years old. This is the first year of STAAR tests. Your child already feels the stress and pressure to do well. The best things you can do at home to prepare are:  
  • Math Practice: use Prodigy, Khan Academy, Xtramath, Splash Math and Mrs. Lilleboe's Math links.  
  • Reading Practice: continue to have your child read every night (document in yellow folder on the reading log sheet) and use the Mrs. Lilleboe's Reading Links. 
  • Go over assignments that come home in Thursday folders. If your child misses a question, work together to get the answer correct. :)
