CRCT
Criterion-Referenced Competency Test
Hell Week for teachers AND students!
We preach to our kids at school to get a good night's sleep and eat a GOOD breakfast.
Last night I took Middle Chicklet to the store to get breakfast food as all we have is Pop-Tarts, Chocolate Chip Waffles, Chocolate Muffin Tops.
You get the picture.
While there, I picked up some candy for my school kids as a reward for testing.
I was reading the Nutrition Facts to see about how many pieces were in each bag so I would have enough.
I picked up a bag and said, "Nope! This only has 50 in it."
MC - "How do you know that?"
I showed him how to take the number per serving and multiply that by the number of servings.
MC - "WOW!!! Now I know how to ready my candy bags to make sure I don't get ripped off!:
MC - "THANKS, Mom! That was a valuable life lesson."
Umm.....welcome.....
Holy Crow. I HATE HATE HATE CRCT week. My 1st grader has them next week and I am already getting notes from his teacher, and his school, and the homeroom mom about lots of sleep and a good breakfast! Look people, if the kids don't know it when they are super cranky and hungry, nothings going to help them!

Hahaha! Wow, you really are a good teacher!
