As you most likely know, it is that time of year where the kids showcase what they know and can do. Students are wrapping up MAP testing (Math and Reading), taking benchmark assessments, and preparing for the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBAC). If you have questions about the SBAC, please visit this site for some answers or reach out to me.
In class, we discuss these assessments and how students can prepare at home. One way has been through the homework assignments (paper-pencil and online) that have been given through out the year. Another way is to make sure students are at their best as they approach the test. Being well-rested, both physically and mentally, is very important. We do not want the kids to be too stressed as they approach the test. That being said, during the week of the Math SBAC, students will not receive math homework. A lighter math homework menu will resume the week of May 11.
As always, we encourage students to access their Dreambox, iReady, and IXL accounts at home. In addition, the SBAC practice site is a great resource for students and families.
I have complete confidence that the students in Room 100 will give the SBAC 150% of their efforts and do their best. They have grown and learned so much this year, it's time for them to show it off!
