Whoops, not today

After school yesterday we had to create a different plan. 


You see, our third graders were supposed to start the state math assessment today. But the fourth graders have started their reading assessment, and there are not enough computers or spaces in our school to accommodate both grades testing on the same day.


So, the third graders will wait until next Tuesday to begin. And our principal brought a treat to our room this morning as a consolation prize, because they were ready and psyched to start. Both my second graders and third graders (and I) had root beer floats at 8:30 in the morning. It was wonderful, and we didn't even act sugar loaded. 


We started the process for our ag fair that happens in early May. The students made their group choice yesterday and today they worked together to start a plan of what they know already and what sort of project they want to create. It was so exciting. (And a big THANKS to my principal who came in and helped facilitate several groups.)
