CRCT is over!!!
I just wanted to thank everyone for our great week of testing and for the wonderful snacks that were shared with everyone. First, everyone came ready to take the test every day. This is a first in all my years of teaching. Second, as I walked around monitoring the test, I could tell that the students were actively engaged and trying their best. Last but not least, the student enjoyed the wonderful snacks that you all provided. I will keep the extras and share them periodically with the class.
