Testing

As I write this, the students are working very diligently on their reading achievement test. I see lots of good test taking strategies being used.

As your child may have told you, we are playing a new game called Homeworkopoly several days a week. Students earn a roll of the dice by turning in completed work on time. So far, the kids really seem to like it

Special Spaces
