Five days of testing are nearly done. After today, there's two more to go.

I'm proud of the way you've been doing your best and I thought that you 'ld like to know.

I know it's not easy, day after day, taking all of these tests,

but in spite of it all, you still manage,somehow, to go out and have fun at recess!

You've heard me say "Do your best!" until you're ready to scream,

but I know you ALL can do great things (though that may not be how I seem).

I know I can be grumpy, sarcastic, and loud,

but underneath it all, I'm always quite proud

of the work you do and the effort you give.

But, to be perfectly honest, as long as I live

there is one thing I don't understand, and believe me, I've looked for clues.

How can a group of really bright kids not know how to tie their own shoes!?!
