 NWEA Spring Testing

More tests!?!!?! Yes, Spring is testing season. We will be taking our Spring Reading NWEA test on Monday, May 13th, and we will take our Spring Math NWEA test on Wednesday, May 15th. Please have your child go to bed early the night before each test. Also, eating a healthy breakfast boosts your child’s brain power so please encourage your child to eat breakfast.

The students can earn an extra recess with Mr. Zielinski if they reach their personal growth goal OR reach the grade level goal on the Reading NWEA test. So please encourage your child to take their time and do their best so we can all go outside with Mr. Zielinski for an EXTRA recess!

Another exciting reward, for the Reading NWEA test, is being offered to the top ten students with the highest reading NWEA scores. This reward will be a Pizza Picnic at a Park with Paws the Tiger and Mr. Zielinski.

M-STEP Update

Wow! What a busy past 2 weeks! Our students worked so hard and everyone did their best! No matter what their score is, each child worked hard and took their time. I couldn’t be more proud of their perseverance and determination! Scores are not in yet. Last year’s third graders received their results this past Fall.

We are officially done with third grade M-STEP testing!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!
