This week you will not be asked to post on this blog because all of you mental powers need to focus on the ITBS.  Remember, this test reflects your learning - show how smart you are - TRY!

You can let me know how you think you are doing :)

We will be taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills next week.  What is your honest opinion of the test?  Please be specific with your comments - things that show it is bad, things that show it is good.  Why do we need to take the test?  What are some ways to prepare for the test?  How can you help yourself improve on this year's test?
