The Time Has Come...

Today was our first official day of EOG testing. The kids took the reading test. We spent FOUR HOURS in complete silence, then an additional two and a half hours being barely productive. I can't blame the kids for not wanting to do any work after the test, but we still have two more days of math to get ready for! I'm getting incredibly nervous and excited. Of course I keep wondering what else I should have done to make sure my students are fully prepared. Did we practice the formulas enough? Do they all know how to use the calculators correctly? Will they remember to double-check their work? It's out of my control, now, because tomorrow morning is The Day. Game Day, as I call it. Good news: I have 3 special ed kids that took the modified math test early, and all three of them passed--one even passed advanced! Let's hope for the same results with the rest of the 7th grade. Wish us luck!
