Chunk Tests

Our first round of reading chunk tests began today. We were assessing narrative reading to see how well the students have learned what we've been teaching since school started. The teachers and the students take the tests very seriously and try very hard to do their best. We will start analyzing the data that we get back to find out if we need to reteach any areas the students didn't perform well on the tests.

Tomorrow is the narrative writing. We'll be assessing how well our students can write stories. It may be a story about something that's happened to them or maybe having them make up something. We will be looking at how they put the stories together, if they included detail with descriptive language, and of course, grammar, punctuation and capitalization. I hope all the students write stories down as well as they tell them!

Good luck on the tests!
