MAP Testing continued

Week of April 6 - 10

We began the week MAP Testing in Math. Students in 6th grade ended the Math MAP Test on Wednesday. Students continued testing in their 1st period class.

In our Reading Class, groups continued where they left off in the WebQuest. Tuesday afternoon students were selected to participate in Learning Lab to make more progress on the Final Project as the deadline for completing the Book Cover Redesign or the Book Trailer Advertisement was on Friday. Wednesday students participated in an End of MAP Reward after lunch. Thursday's schedule was back to "normal" as the MAP Test concluded for 6th grade. Friday was the deadline for the WebQuest project. Students did not have the opportunity to go to the Library as 8th grade was still MAP Testing - Science.

You *Can* Judge a Book By Its Cover

Week of March 30 - April 3

On Monday, students were introduced to a WebQuest project. I polled each class before we began to see how many were familiar with a WebQuest. I projected the image below on the Smartboard and each student marked where he/she fit best.

Just 7 students recalled ever completing a WebQuest in the past.

Tuesday, students continued their progression through the WebQuest. On Wednesday the entire school started the Communication Arts MAP test. Students in 6th grade tested in 1st period Wednesday - Friday. Our schedule was modified in the afternoon so we would see all classses one more time before the weeks end. For those students who qualified with at least 95% attendance, 15 or fewer plantimes, no D's or F's and no ISS/OSS they attended the 3rd Quarter Field Trip - Bowling. We had a blast! Unfortunately, due to MAP testing students did not have a chance to go to the library for checkout since it was used as a testing overflow room. Students were selected to participate in Learning Lab to continue work on the Final Project.
