  1. Hi Ms. Murphy!

    I liked the blog this week. It was short and sweet and had a lot of information on it! I was happy to see CRCT was moved out a few days. Will all grades be testing starting on Monday the 25th of April? Doesn't it usually start mid week and go into the next week? Just curious. I usually help organize snacks for our class that week, so I like to know when the testing begins.

    Hope you enjoyed the nice weather! My kids have serious Sping Fever! :)

    See you soon!
