FCAT buddies

As we approach FCAT testing time, Loretto likes to instill a sense of community and encouragement.  Each K-2 classroom is paired with a 3-5 classroom to be their "FCAT buddy". 

Our class is buddies with Mrs. Beltz's 4th grade class.  FCAT writing is coming up first on February 28th.  I'm looking for some ideas on what we could do for her class to encourage and motivate them to do their best on the writing test.  Simple ideas include sending in a treat for them or we could spend some more time on a craft of some sort.  A motivational saying would also tie in nicely.  If you have any thoughts or ideas, please let me know! 

As we come up with a game plan, I will need some parent involvement to help with materials and possible some of your time to create a project.  I will keep you posted.
