We know testing week can feel stressful for everyone…These words have gone viral but the name of the creator isn’t known… however it’s a great reminder. “Please do remember, amongst the students who will be sitting for the exams there is an artist, who doesn’t need to understand Math... There is an entrepreneur, who doesn’t care about History or English literature...There is a musician, whose Chemistry marks won’t matter...There’s an athlete...whose physical fitness is more important than Physics.. If your child does get top marks, that’s great!
But if he or she doesn’t...please don’t take away their self-confidence and dignity from them. Tell them it’s OK, its just an exam! They are cut out for much bigger things in life. Tell them, no matter what they score...you love them and will not judge them. Please do this, and when you do... watch your children conquer the world. One exam or low mark won’t take away...their dreams and talent. And please, do not think that doctors and engineers are the only happy people in the world.”

The Han Dynasty was a golden age in Chinese history, established by Liu Bang after the fall of the Qin dynasty, that solidified Chinese culture and governance. It was defined by its promotion of Confucianism, the expansion of the Silk Road, and lasting advancements in technology and administration. After learning about this history, sixth graders created their own three tiered versions of pagodas, with a modern twist. #jewishcharlotte #tk8 #charlottejewishdayschool #jewishmomsofcharlotte #jewisheducation
