TAKS Tomorrow

This is the first night Braden has been in bed at 8:30 since before Spring Break. The closer we get to summer, the more lax we are on bedtime. However, tomorrow is TAKS testing! 

This is the first time my little boy will take the TAKS test. He has the reading and math this year. I am completely confident he will do excellently. They have worked these kids to death in preparation for this test. He has done well on all the pre-tests, despite his teacher's dissatifaction that he doesn't use his "strategies".  He is super smart and determined to do well. Strategies or not, he will be great.

After TAKS week, we have 4 weeks of 3rd grade left! We couldn't be happier about summer drawing near! Those are probably the busiest 4 weeks of the year.  Wrapping up PTA, preparing for next year, volunteer appreciation, teacher appreciation week, talent show and music fundraiser, and the list goes on. By the end of May, I will be exhausted and completely ready to sit by the pool day after day!
