MAP Testing Starts This Week!

Tomorrow our class will start MAP testing.  We will take the math MAP test tomorrow after the field trip and the reading MAP test next Wednesday (January 23).  It is extremely important that all students are here for the tests as much as possible to avoid missing out on class time for make up testing.  Please help your student get a good night's rest and a hearty breakfast/lunch to ensure that they are ready for testing that day.  Additionally, please stress to your student that time is no object and students can literally have as much time as needed.  We often see test scores drop significantly when students are rushing through their test to finish first.  Remind them that "first" doesn't mean "smartest".  :) 

If you have any questions or concerns about the MAP testing, feel free to email me anytime.

And a quick reminder that tomorrow is our field trip to Garfield HS to see Treasure Island.  Please make sure your student is at school ON TIME so that we can be on time for the performance.  If your student is not here on time, we will have to leave him/her behind for the duration of the field trip so please make sure they are here. 

Enjoy your evening and get plenty of rest!
