Mrs. Craft’s 4th Grade Class Had a BLAST Getting Ready for STAAR!
Our students geared up for the STAAR test in the most exciting way—by playing a Capture the Flag review game in small groups! Each team worked hard to “capture” questions and master their skills in preparation for the big test.
The energy, teamwork, and focus were off the charts! And of course, the top-performing team walked away with some awesome prizes for their effort and success.
Way to go, 4th graders—you’re ready to crush that test!
