April 21 and 22 was STAAR Assessment for both Andrew and Anna. This is Anna's first year for this and Andrew's second. On the night before any big exam, test, or standardized assessment, I prepare a meal with some kind of seafood because it is suppose to be great brain food. The morning of I prepared a big breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit and an It Works! smoothie. Andrew ordered a chocolate one and Anna wanted Strawberry.
I pulled out the table linens, candle light, lavender oil, played soft music and dimmed the dinning room lights to keep them calm. Alan said that I spoil them. I say, if they have to go through this ridiculous assessment, then we have got to make at least part of it fun and give them something to look forward to.
