The results of STAR testing

Today was the second day of two days of STAR testing. This standardized state test has many benefits to the school. The students, however, had a different view of the experience. The majority vote was that they wanted every day to start late and every class to be watching movies and playing games. Alas, despite their voiced opinions, we utilized all of the educational time with practicing skills and introducing our new section on writing persuasive essays. Persuasive essays are some of the most challenging, but I have high hopes for us to meet the standards and walk away with a solid understanding of the mechanics and purpose of writing.
