TAKS Benchmarking
Yesterday we began our week of Mock TAKS testing. Tuesday we benchmarked math in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. Results from those tests are coming in, and I know teachers will share those with you shortly. The TAKS math test is the furthest away (April 7 for 5th grade and April 28 for 3rd and 4th), but we want to continue with our progress towards outstanding success on that test. Today (Wednesday) we will benchmark 4th grade writing and 5th grade science, and tomorrow is reading for all three grades. The reading test is our first test scheduled for Tuesday, March 3. Teachers may be requesting additional help at home to get all of our children ready. This is a team effort – when teachers, parents, and students work together, that’s when we truly succeed! Please be open to ideas your teacher may suggest to help your child at home. If you have any questions about TAKS testing or about the results that come home from the benchmarks this week, please contact your child’s teacher. You can also call or come visit me. My door is always open.
