Hard Workers!

Welcome to 2013!  The students were welcomed back with MAPs, AIMSweb, and MCAP/MCOMP testing!  Poor things! :)  They rose to the occasion and boy did we see some awesome improvements since fall!  As a faculty we were so super proud of our student body.  My students took longer in taking the test than they did in the fall indicating that they were more focused and took their time.  Every SINGLE one of my student increased their reading score from the fall by at least the 4 points that we hope to see.  

Please continue to praise and encourage your students for their hard work and dedication to their studies.  They took such pride in their scores and their achievements.  It was so cool to see the smiles on their faces when their scores popped up and they compared them.  What a tribute to the hard work they also put in every day in school.  Kudos to you as well for working with your students at home, studying with them, practicing with them, and reading with them.  It shows!  What a wonderful year 2013 will be!  

Congrats students and families on a successful testing week!

P.S.  As a 3rd grade staff we will meet to review the data for all students and make decisions on interventions needed/changed/no longer needed in the weeks to come and all decisions will be communicated to you as well!
