Twas the night before testing, all through the school,
Not a soul was stirring, the air calm and cool.
The Chromebooks were charged with utmost care,
In hopes that success soon would be there.
The children, in slumber, dreams filled their heads,
Of equations and passages, as they lay in their beds.
Then out on the roof, there arose such a sound,
Awakening them all, their curiosity unbound.
To the window they rushed, their eyes wide with surprise,
As the STAAR fairy appeared before their eyes.
With a wand in her hand, she spoke words of might,
Guiding them through concepts, shining bright as a light.
Author’s purpose, main idea, and inference so clear,
She taught them with magic, dispelling any fear.
Perimeters, decimals, and word problems they knew,
Reducing fractions and strategies anew.
With a smile, she left them, her wisdom profound,
"Believe in yourselves," was her last resounding sound.
For tomorrow awaits, a challenge, a test,
But armed with their knowledge, they'll give it their best.
So sleep now, young scholars, for tomorrow will show,
Your hard work and effort, how far you will grow.
For the STAAR is just one step on your quest,
To greatness and triumph, you'll surely attest!
