ISAT WEEK!

Hi everyone! Do you like the new look?

This week, we will administer the ISAT tests in the subjects of reading and math. Here are some things you can do to really prepare yourself for doing the best job possible:

1. Get a good night's sleep
This means going to bed before 9 and sleeping until the sun comes up. Your growing and changing body needs at least 9 hours of sleep a day to function at its best. I know some of you are in the habit of staying up late. This does not make you cool. No one is there watching you in admiration as you put stress on your body as it is fighting with you for the sleep it desperately needs. GET TO SLEEP!!

2. Eat a good breakfast (and lunch).
Eating a well balanced breakfast, which means from a few different food groups, will help your body function well all day long. Just having a bagel is not enough. Your body needs some form of protein in the morning, like peanut butter, nuts (if you're not allergic), cheese, yogurt, etc. That will stave off hunger, which can greatly distract you during the test!

3. Drink enough water!!
If you aren't already in the habit of bringing in water, bring a water bottle for the days we are testing at least. Water is what your body's cells needs to stay hydrated and function at optimal levels. Do you not have a clue to what I just said? You probably aren't drinking enough water. The experts say you will know you are drinking enough water when you go to the bathroom and your urine is not yellow. I know you are going, "EEEWWW, Mrs. Grezlik, gross....!"
