The Comprehesion Test

We took a comprehension test yesterday and today.  It was only worth one point, but since it is the first quiz of the trimester, it had an effect on the kids grades but that won't last, since it is only one point.   Before you get upset at us (the teachers) or at your child's score......

Please print a copy of the test on blank paper and try it your self.  :)

(No peeking at it on the screen!  Just print it and without asking any questions, take the test!)

Comprehension Test


It was harder than it looked, wasn't it......
It wasn't just to make us look foolish.  It was to prove a point.
