HEY KIDS!

Well the first week of testing is over. If my Advisory is any indication the majority of you should be thanked and congratulated for your efforts, especially in not disrupting the class when you finished the tests. We bid goodbye to our 6th graders today, they leave the good ship CST today, in other words their tests are over. The 7th and 8th graders will continue the voyage next week. Remember to relax and have a lot of fun this weekend. Recharge your batteries. Go download some Mozart and listen to it. Your brains will get bigger. Honest.

WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY?

Note: Mrs. Whitman and I will be out today doing school business, so be good for the Guest Teacher.
