Well we did finish testing yesterday. I am so proud of all the work that students did! It was not easy testing for 2 hours each day but each child really stepped up and gave it their best effort. WE are now back to a regular routine and happy about it! Today we are working on poetry and celebrating the end of testing with a special snack and a bulldog bone auction!
