MAP

We took our first MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment today.  This is the assessment I discussed at Back to School night.  The class did a nice job for their first round.  It is a bit overwhelming and not very enjoyable for most students.  We took the reading portion today (which seems to be the least liked of the three) tomorrow we will take language arts, followed by math on Thursday.  We will retake the assessments in the winter and spring to see our improvements throughout the year.  The assessments give us a better view of strengths and areas for improvement in each child's learning.
