Wonderful Wednesday

This morning, since it is Writing Wednesday, the children worked on their stories.  We switched for math early, in order to complete the MAP-M testing in math classes.  Therefore, the children spent most of their morning in their math class.

As a reminder, the MAP-M is the computerized, self-adjusting math test that the children take three times each year.  The data helps us plan, instruct, and assess growth.

The MAP-M testing took all morning, and some students still need more time to complete it.

After math, the children enjoyed lunch and outdoor recess.

When they returned to class, some students worked on the MAP-R testing that we began yesterday.  The rest of the children worked on the New England colonies flip book that we started in social studies yesterday.

Next, the students had art with Mr. Cosgrove.

After art, we worked on our Genius Hour research questions.  Students spent time using various search engines to read about their topic and identify facts to answer their questions.  I worked one-on-one with several students to help them with their research.

NO HOMEWORK tonight and tomorrow night.
