STaAR exams start next week. These are the state mandated tests that are part of the public school accountability standards started by Governor George Bush. Basically its a tough test that doesn't do much to tell you about a child's potential, but tells you a lot about their ability to follow directions and proclivity for test taking. Texas students start taking them in the 3rd grade, which means Walker is up to bat next week for the first time!
Mrs. Jonsey, Walker's fantabulous teacher, made the kids a motivational video today on their last day before testing. I thought you'd enjoy seeing it!
Go get 'em buddy!

You've got this Walker! I'm sure Jonesey has got you well prepared! Plus....after all, you are Walker Starr! The STaAR test was practically named for you. ;-)
Rock it Walker!! You've been following lego instructions since before you could read!! Taking tests - following instructions!! Looks like you have a class of ready friends. And the Force is With You!!
