It was fun to come back to school today. We got right back to work and and are now daily doing whatever we can to be prepared for 3rd grade. I know it sounds odd, but these kiddos are now closer to 3rd than 1st.
This week we are doing some mid year testing. Today students took the Star Test. Throughout this week they will take MAP tests which are tests that Measure Academic Progress. The goal of these tests is to get a picture of where your child is at this point in the year and give us a starting point to create some growth goals.
This is the first time they have taken these tests. They will see them repeatedly throughout their school career. I will walk them through it and encourage them to do their best. There is nothing to stress or study for, I just want to see where they are right now.
Because of this testing, our spelling test and math test will take place next week. We will have our spelling and comprehension test next Tuesday, the 16th and we will have our math test next Thursday, the 18th.
I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and had some wonderful time with family.
