What is THAT?
Ok, I guess it's time to follow my own advice with titles, huh? :)
Today in class, we had one of two "last chance" efforts to refresh for CRCT. We completed part of/all of (depending) a CRCT post-test from our trusty Coach books. You graded it yourselves and problem solved/questioned to decide why you missed questions. Most of you did pretty well on that, so I suspect tomorrow, when we complete the second post-test, you'll have some questions, but will see no questions that leave you stressed and screaming, "Miss Chaffin! What is THAT?"
For those of you who read the blog, here's a little preview of the book options for our upcoming lit circles. Be thinking about which is your first, second, and third option! I'll post the handout soon. Permission slips are also on the way.

Thanks for your hard work!
