MEAP Madness

So the last couple weeks at school have been a bit crazy because of the MEAP testing. I not only need to give the test, but also monitor all the accommodations for the 8th grade special education students. It's usually a very crazy time because schedules are all messed up, the kids are a little more on edge or stressed because of it, and we as teachers have a lot to organize. I have to say, though, that this year for me has been better than any other year with this test. After doing it a couple years, I feel like it is a bit easier. There were a few glitches on the first day, but after figuring that out, it's gone a lot smoother than in the past. I'm still excited that tomorrow is finally the last day of testing (as long as no one is absent!) A glass of wine or two will be in order after the day is over to celebrate!!
