We are adjusting to our grade very nicely. There are several new things that we are working on. This week we started our MAP testing. Last spring the students did a reading and math MAP test, but in 3rd grade they do math, reading, language arts, and science. We will test again in the spring to measure growth. I will go over the results with you at conference.
Also a first for 3rd graders is the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. We will be taking these in November this year. We have been do some pretesting with samples so the students know how to take the test and learn to use different test taking strategies.
We have had several celebrations in September-lots of birthdays! We also earned a pajama party because our behavior jar was filled!! Good job 3rd graders! We are already working on filling the jar again and looking forward to planning another celebration!
Trying to add new pictures with our Kindergarten partners, hope it works!!
