A big thank you to everybody who helped keep the hallways quiet for testing on Tuesday. A big thank you to everybody who assisted with testing, or assisting with items behind the scenes to ensure testing went smoothly. Tuesday was a day of synergy!
I wish you could have seen the students testing. We completed all of the ELA test for the first part, for both third and fourth grade. We had students testing in all of their classrooms, and they were so diligent persevering through the test. That test was intense, and students did an awesome job taking their time. Regardless of test scores, students definitely did their very best.
Due to the length of the ELA test pieces, we need to make an adjustment with testing on Thursday. Students will be completing the performance task for the ELA test, and it is probably the most intense piece due to all the writing/typing and researching. We are going to have all 3rd and 4th graders testing in their classrooms at 9am. We noticed how much time they needed for the first part of the ELA test, and we want to make sure they have plenty of time on Thursday for testing.
Here is a thought for today. Focus on the positives:
