4th Grade test schedule changes 1/12/11

I have two test date changes I want to make you aware of. The Reading Test originally scheduled for Friday, 1/13 will be on Tuesday 1/17.  My being out for BizTown training on Tuesday slowed down our coverage of the material.

The Math test scheduled for Monday 1/16 will be on Wednesday, 1/18. I forgot that Monday was a holiday when putting the schedule together.

I hope you have a great three day weekend!
