Please remind your students, as I will remind them in person:

Do the best you can on the tests, take your time and think about the question. Make sure you answer the question- all the way. You are not your test scores! you are a living, breathing, intelligent amazing person. Each of you have a huge contribution to make to this world, and that can never be shared via a test. I am proud of the many talents and kindnesses you share each day with me and with your classmates.
