Testing begins

Students did the first section of the CST (California Standards Test) today. I think it is one of the hardest sections, so it's nice that we're done with that. Tomorrow, we'll continue with the language arts sections, and then start the math on Wednesday.

Today was -- groan! -- rainy day schedule. And I wasn't in the mood for it. We had a really whiny lunch recess, so I dug out every worksheet I could find and assigned them for an afternoon independent work session. Suddenly, all was calm and pleasant. If they worked hard during this time, they should NOT have much if any homework. Everything listed below was assigned to them at 1:00 pm, and they had 90 minutes to work on it.

Homework: (1) Science, questions WB 97. Copy questions. (2) "Ox-Cart Man" open-book quiz. (3) Alphabetical order worksheet. (4) Equivalent fractions WS. (5) Multiplication WS.
