Well, the end of the year is finally in sight. As of today, there are 10 full days and 2 half days (exams) remaining. I can hardly wait; it has been a long year.

State testing began today. . . . the math section was done. 80 questions, 3 hours to complete. Only problem, my testing group finished in less than 2 hours. As another teacher said, this group is not a group of geniuses. This does not bode well" I agree 100%.

Next week is the algebra test. We shall see how they do. Anyway, tomorrow is the reading test. Hopefully students will do better than I suspect they did on the math test.
