CELDT testing ends

Today was my last day to work for TRUSD doing CELDT testing. It’s always good when a repetitive job ends – I won’t have to read “Kenny’s Trip” for at least 10 months! I was part of a great team this year: Kathy Smith, Jeannie McClaren, and Adrienne.

One final story from Regency Park. I was testing a first grade boy. About halfway through the test I told him he really smelled good and asked if he was wearing cologne. He smiled and explained, “It’s my dad’s soap. (Patted his tummy.) I get my four-pack from doing push-ups. I get my six-pack from my dad’s soap.”

Our CELDT-testing team got a slow start today because of a big event sponsored by North Natomas Transportation Management Association (the same organization that hires me to teach Project Ride Smart). OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

After mass, we went to the fabric store, a Halloween store where Sophia was not so sure about some of the animatronics,

and picked up lunch at her favorite restaurant, In N Out Burger. She wanted to eat her lunch at her mom’s work.
