Chess Club
Thursday's club is over for the school year. Wednesday's club will meet for the last time this week, since we had to reschedule earlier in the year. I have enjoyed working with the chess club. It is a great group of students. It has been fun watching them grow in their chess abilities.
MAP testing and Aimsweb Benchmarking
The MAP tests are computer based tests over math and reading. We also do 3 Aimsweb tests. There are 2 math tests, one on computation and one on concepts and application. We also do a timed reading test that helps us to know how fast your child is able to read. All of these tests are important because we use the data to help decide if you child needs any kind of extra support - therefore, it is very important that your child do the best that they can. A good nights sleep, and a healthy breakfast are two factors which can really make a difference in a student's test taking abilities. I think it is very important, especially this week, to make sure that your child gets plenty of time to sleep.
