The sun rises in the morning. The stars come out at night.

The seasons change. The tide rolls in. In the evening, mosquitos bite.

Some things ALWAYS happen. Another occurs this week.

The Benchmark tests are here again; this is no time to be meek.

Be bold. Be sure. Be positive. Attack each and every test.

You won't have any problems, if you try to do your best.

Your grades might even go up a bit, but they won't go down.

The Benchmark Tests are "bonus points." There's no reason to have that frown.

You'll take one test per day, for the next three days and then you will be done.

(At least until the next 9 weeks when you take another one).

By the way, here's two more things on which you can rely.

Grammar Giggles and Morning Math will put the twinkle in your eye.

So, do your Morning Work and be ready for your test at nine.

And that's it until tomorrow. For the rest of the day . . . YOU'RE MINE!
