Ms. Verinder's Victorious 3rd Graders

I cannot stress how important it is to make sure your child is mentally and emotionally ready for the TAKS test.

First, please make sure your child eats a good breakfast. If you do not feed him/her breakfast at home, make sure he/she is at school no later than 7:30 a.m. to eat breakfast.

Second, your child needs a lot of sleep. Lack of sleep can affect your child’s ability to think and reason clearly. Have him/her go to bed early the night before so they are ready to make the best choices and does not become sleepy during the test.

Third, please give your child A LOT of positive reinforcement! Telling them that they can do it and to take their time will help with your child’s mood before the test. His/Her mood can make a difference on how they perform on the test.

Working together, we will help your child succeed. It takes all three of us to have a successful and enjoyable year. Parents/Guardians, the student, and I make the best team and I believe every child can achieve!

This link will lead you to an online study guide for 3rd Grade students in Reading and Mathematics. This is a very user friendly guide. As you go through the examples, it will thoroughly explain each learning objective. If you need a hard copy, please let me know and I can get a book for you.
