What? You want me to think of CRCT over spring break?
Of course I do. Please remember that CRCT starts the Tuesday we return from spring break. So take a break from the video games and the swimming pool. Stop watching so much TV. When you come in from the beach or playing a ball game, take time to review. Here are some easy ways: Use your Coach Books and review with an adult, Take a practice test on the OAS website, or You can review and practice on the Coach Connected website. You can also play math and reading games on the web. Anything that gets your mind working is good for you. We are also going to need snacks for the CRCT. While you are out shopping this week, can you please buy a snack or some drinks to share with your class? Individually packaged snacks and drinks are easier than those that are not. For example, a pack of crackers and a juice box is a lot easier than a box on vanilla wafers and a two liter bottle. Thanks and have a great holiday!! Mr. Toney
