Tomorrow's the Big Day!!
Well, WHAP warriors, you've made it. Tomorrow is the big day, the day we've been
working towards all year. Ms. Jones and I are SO PROUD of you for sticking with
this class all year and being such exceptional students. We know you will go
into that test tomorrow and conquer it the same way you've conquered class all
year. We want you to believe that, too! Be confident....you've got
this!
A couple of helpful hints for tomorrow:
1. STOP STUDYING! If you must, go home and study this afternoon, but cut it off at 9:00 PM! Trust me, the one or two facts that you'll cram into your head will not be worth the lack of sleep and the anxiety that you'll give yourself by having an all-night cram session! Again, cut it off at 9:00, do something for an hour or so that you find relaxing, and then GO TO BED! Sleep will help more than you think tomorrow!
2. Eat a good breakfast in the morning! Protein is always a good idea (think eggs or breakfast meat of some kind)! DO NOT FILL UP ON COFFEE! This will make you jittery and anxious, and it will also make you have to use the restroom more quickly.
3. Report to the second gym as soon as you get to school! I know you don't have to be there until 7:30, but get there early! That way you'll be settled in and ready to go, not rushing around trying to get to your test. They will not wait for you if you are late!!!
4. Bring the following items: a jacket, two non-mechanical pencils, and two blue or black pens. You can also bring water and/or a snack for your break, but you cannot have these in the testing room with you.
5. Go in with CONFIDENCE! If you believe you can do it, you'll do it!!!!
Remember, after we explain the project tomorrow, you will get a free day. If you would like to bring snacks/drinks to share with the class, go for it!
Again, Ms. Jones and I are so proud of you, and we know you will do great tomorrow!
