Writing MSP Tomorrow (Tuesday)

The BIG day has arrived and we are ready for our first MSP tomorrow  - WRITING!  While I can't believe it is time already, I know that the students are well prepared for whatever those prompts may be!

Students will have ALL day to complete each prompt.  There is no need to rush and I am sure everyone will do amazing.

Please make sure that your student gets plenty of sleep, gets a hearty breakfast, and brings both a snack and water bottle to school tomorrow.  There will be breaks and lunch as usual, just in a different way since we will be testing.  I expect that most students will need the full day for writing so be prepared to have a mentally exhausted kiddo tomorrow night!

Since we have to cover all of our walls for the test, we spent some time today decorating large "posters" to give students motivation during the test and give them something fun to look at instead of blank paper.  Now our lovely anchor charts and walls look like this:
 The classroom feels so small with all these coverings!  :(
 
This is one of the motivational pictures that students drew.  It says, "Do your best on the MSP for me and everyone else" with an arrow pointing to it that says, "How can you say no to him?"  I love that students were getting create and were taking this seriously (in a fun way)!  :) 

We will see you tomorrow, ready to write and put everything we have learned this year to work!  Get plenty of rest and know that you'll all do GREAT!
