Commended!

Emma took her reading TAKS test at the beginning of March. For those of you not in Texas, in 3rd grade the reading test is "high stakes", meaning that regardless of all other academic performance, if your child doesn't pass, your child repeats 3rd grade (they do get 3 chances, though). Emma, ever the perfectionist, took this very seriously. She was so nervous the night before, she could barely sleep, despite scoring above 90 on every single practice test they took. The week after Spring Break, we got her results. Not only did she pass, but she exceeded the standard and received Commendation!! WooHoo, Emma! Her math TAKS will be taken at the end of this month. like me, math is her thing. I'm sure she'll do great!
