Benchmark Testing

This week we will be involved in Benchmark Testing each day. Benchmarks are designed to see what our students have actually retained over the nine weeks and help us as teachers to see what we need to hit a little bit harder. Benchmarks are set up similar to CRCT testing to help relieve some of that stress when CRCT actually gets here. This week we will begin testing by 8:30 each morning and will test as follows:
  • Monday - Reading
  • Tuesday - English Language Arts
  • Wednesday - Math
  • Thursday - Science
  • Friday - Social Studies
Now....I know you are all waiting for pictures and recipes for Elephant Toothpaste but that will have to wait till this evening!  SORRY!  I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel which has taken all my time this week end. I promise to post tonight.

Along that science thread if you haven't sent in something for our smores (chemical change), we still need graham crackers for our homeroom. We will do this hopefully on Tuesday...which means MORE pictures! Thanks!
