We had a very busy day. While we completed morning work, students took their Accelerated Reader tests on the novels they read. After we returned from gym, we took our Math Nine Weeks Test. It took almost an hour to complete because it had 49 questions on Geometry and Graphing. Then we had another class spelling bee to help give us a break. We worked on a writing prompt until lunch time. After lunch, we went to the computer lab and took Star Math and Star Reader tests.

The good news... their is NO HOMEWORK tonight. (Unless your child has missing assignments)
