At the end of the month of April, Burton Elementary will be taking the CRCT, which is a standardized test that every student grades 1-8 in the state of Georgia take. I have included in this newsletter a hyperlink that will take you to a CRCT tips website. These tips not only apply to the CRCT but to all tests in this class. I would like for you, the parent, to sit down and review these tips with your child.

I have included another hyperlink to a really fun at home craft. When people think of winter they usually think of snow, and living in South Georgia snow is a very rare event. This hyperlink is a recipe for at home snow. This activity is completely optional.
