1. Oakman Folder-Sign and return behavior calendar for DECEMBER!!— we took a practice NWEA test for reading today and students compared their score to when we took it last week… almost everyone went up, remembering to take their time and listen carefully to each question and answer choices before choosing their final answer— their scores are on a yellow post-it! Next week we will take math and see if we can improve our scores.. please reinforce the importance of this test with your child and praise them for going up in score!!! The test was out of 30 points. THANK YOU!!!
