It's
officially fall and the school year is in full swing; as is assessment season. Our students are taking part in the MAP
(Measures of Annual Progress) test which assesses their grade level skills in
Math and Reading as well as the Math Predictor and Writing Prompts. Our 4th and 5th graders are taking part in
the Fountas and Pinnell leveled reader assessments, and teachers are
administering formative assessments in their classrooms. This is A LOT of assessing - it is essential
for our teachers to best know the students as learners and have the opportunity
to personalize their learning as much as possible.
