MCAS Tomorrow

I said that after vacation we wouldn't do any test prep or we'd make it fun if we did it. I tried, but today's final review wasn't that much fun, yet I felt I had to give one last review before tomorrow's test.

Their collective knowledge was strong, but some seem to be losing their drive to do well on the tests. With two MCAS scheduled for tomorrow and the next day, and three PARCC tests scheduled during this week and next, we'll spend more time reviewing the test format and math concept, knowledge, and skill.

Two more weeks of test-on-test-off, then a good month of experiential, hands-on learning. I'm looking forward to the start of that "no test" month.
