Day 356

The CogAT
I woke up bright and early on this Saturday morning to proctor the CogAT test from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  Ugh, it hurt to wake up early on a cold morning but it is difficult for this teacher to turn down money for an easy job.  

The CogAT is a cognitive test given to all 2nd graders in our district.  If students perform well enough, they are invited into the GATE (gifted children) program.  When a student doesn't score high enough or is new to the district, he/she may take the test again in the grades 3-7 but only two more times.  So, today I was in charge of 25 3rd graders.  These kids were sure squirmy compared to my 5th graders.
