MCAS
When Matt was taking the MCAS tests last spring, he said they were so easy, he finished with hours to spare. Pencil down and up and out of the classroom. Diane and I looked at each other and back at Matt, and as fatherly as possible, I said, ìYou know, there is such a thing as checking your answers.î As he often does, he shrugged me off.
His test scores arrived today. The scores are ranked from Failing to Needs Improvement to Proficient to Advanced. He placed in the advanced category for both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Poker at my house last night. Chris, have you played recently?
Rock on, MattMan!!! But do NOT let that go to your head…….. It’s just a standardized test, not wisdom. Still, muy bien hecho!!!

Bravo Matt on the MCAS. Caroline scored advanced in Language Arts too. In math she was proficient. Perhaps it hasn’t gone to her head but it definitely went to mine. I was thrilled. PSAT’s next. As for cards, I played two weeks ago and won a whopping $5.25. I must say I am most impressed with this card table and chips. We use the dining room table and coins. We have graduated to always having a deck of cards shuffled, very handy for the queen game and in-between. So how did you do?

I lost three dollars, but not to worry, I’ll just add that to your next invoice.
How about a photo of your group?
