Beginning May 1st, your 3rd grader will be taking the WV General Summative Assessment. By working together, we can make your child’s testing experience positive and successful. Here are some suggestions that you can do to help your child succeed:
- Make sure your child gets a good night’s rest
- Encourage your child to eat a healthy breakfast
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time every day
- Gently encourage your child to do their best
Get outdoors for better health. Studies show spending time outdoors seems to have benefits for physical and mental health. Benefits can include:
Increased Vitamin D levels. Vitamin D has a protective affect against osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease and can boost your immune system.
Increased activity level. Getting outdoors gets you away from electronics and being sedentary. Children are more than doubly active when they are outside.
Improved mood. Light tends to elevate mood. Exercising in nature is good for your mental health.
