Wahoooooo!!!!!!!

Let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief - testing is over!!!  Thursday and Friday return to our normally scheduled days. 

We will be having a read-in on Friday to celebrate!  Kids can bring:

•  a towel or small blanket
• pillow or stuffed animal
• popcorn (I can pop them during lunch!). 
• Book(s):  The read in will last from 1:30-2:15, so they also need reading materials for that time.  They have been great with novels on their lexile level. 
• Mrs. Martin or I will help them if they do need some assistance.  :)

Blonde moment alert:  After filing, grading, organizing, etc. at 2:10, I realized I did not STAPLE signed papers.  They will go home tomorrow. I am entering grades now, so they should be caught up.  There are way less grades as we spent ample time reviewing for CRCT as well as the week taking the test. 

We will continue with algebra and test soon.  I will let you know once I get a gauge on how much they remember from pre-crct cram time.  :)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all of the delicious, salubrious (healthy!) snacks!!!  The kids looked forward to it everyday.  We also enjoyed our popsicle party, albeit inside, today.  It was an awesome catalyst for a multiple intelligences creative writing prompt.  They had free range to write about banana popsicles:  poems, stories, interviews, songs, etc.  I will post pictures and videos as we complete them!  :)
