In 3rd grade we will take an assessment called MAP, and it will cover reading and math. These tests are taken on the computer, and they are adaptive, which means they will be individualized for each student. The data we gain from these assessments will ensure that we not only know your child's strengths and weaknesses in these different areas, but that we also know what they are best prepared to learn next.
To learn more, follow this link to take you to a "Parent Toolkit" on the NWEA website. The toolkit is a PDF file with more information and FAQs.
Miss White's class will be testing on Monday and Friday of this week and on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Mrs. Hreno's class will be testing on Tuesday and Friday of this week and on Wednesday of next week.
Please help us in encouraging your child to do his or her best and keeping all talk of these tests positive, since we have found that a good attitude helps students through these assessments.
We hope you are having a wonderful weekend, and we can't wait to have another amazing week in third grade!
