It's state testing week, which means things are getting really nerdy around here. Yesterday, our kids took the math test, so all of the math teachers wore our appropriate gear to encourage them.
I'm grateful for the lessons I've learned in my past four years of teaching, because 2010 Courtney would have let the pressure of the state test drown her in a fit of worry and fear. And while I was hoping to feel more confident about what I saw the kiddos do yesterday, I also know that worrying about it for the next three weeks will not change their scores. What's done is done, que sera sera.
Obviously there have been other things going on outside of state testing in the past three months, but that's about all the capacity I have to write at the moment. More to come, as soon as I recover from my TCAP hangover.
