As of March 17th, we have read 4,085 minutes! We have made it to our party! Great job!

Math and Reading Achievement Test

We will be taking the Math and Reading Achievement Test at the end of April/beginning of May. We have been continually preparing for these tests. The end of the unit assessments in Language Arts are modeled after the reading achievement test questions.

We have already taken the reading achievment test, but all students will take the test again in April. As we have discussed in school, the goal for all students is to do better on the test in April than they did in October. Students have been learning and growing for many months during third grade and its important that they show this growth during their Achievement Test.

To help us prepare for the math test, we are completing a few practice questions each week. The practice questions are questions that have been on past achievement tests. Students are using these questions to practice explaining how they got their answer and to review concepts that will be on the test. The practice questions will be sent home prior to the test and then can be reviewed at home.
