Sorry that I haven't posted for awhile. Tommorow will be a half day and Monday is President's Day. Enjoy the long weekend. The first week in March will be Illinois state testing and the kis have been beeen working on extended response in writing. It is a real chore!! If your child is complaining about it just keep in mind that I have to prepare them for this portion of the state test. When they take the state test I can't read the reading portion of the test or help them with the writing.
