There is no homework this week.  Please encourage your student to get plenty 
of rest this week.  I am confident that they are well prepared and will do 
their very best this week on the CRCT.  In class, we will continue to work 
on CRCT review material and then contine with the lesson plan below upon 
test completion.  Thank you for your support.
