CRCT

We spent this week taking the CRCT-Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests.The CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). The children worked very hard this week and came in each day with a positive attitude. Our message this week was to HOPE for success and to BELIEVE in yourself. All we need to do now is to wait for the results!
We interviewed a few student to see how they felt taking the CRCT and to see if they had some advice for next years students.

Earth Day

This week we talked about Earth Day (April 22nd). We decided that Earth Day should be celebrated everyday! Some of the ideas the children shared for helping the Earth were: clean up trash, recycle, reduce the use of water/electricity, and reuse plastic bottles. One of the activities that we did this week was to design a reusable cup to get the message out about saving the Earth! Let's all work together to make tomorrow beautiful!

In the comment space below, please share a way that you can help save the Earth.
