NWEA MAP Testing will begin on Monday

This week  your child will take tests called Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®). We give students MAP tests to determine your child’s instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year in the areas of Reading and Language Usage. Your child will take the tests on a computer.
MAP tests are unique in that they adapt to be appropriate for your child’s level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward testing.

HOMEWORK: THERE WILL BE NO READ THEORY THIS WEEK! HOWEVER, THE STUDENTS ARE COMPLETING AN OUTSIDE ASSIGNMENT (DREAM CATCHER, A THEME CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE (SHORT ESSAY) AND A BOOK TALK ON THE BOOK THEY ARE READING AT HOME! DUE  JANUARY 29TH!

THE EXPECTATION IS THAT KIDS ARE READING 20 MINUTES PER NIGHT 5 DAYS A WEEK! PARENTS PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS WITH YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME.
