Science MAP
Are you ready, for the Grade 3/4 Science MAP Test today? Sign in at the usual testing time. Mrs. Span will give you the codes. Thanks for trying your best and for doing all this extra work this week! This will be the last one!
Map Testing REMINDER
Once again, MAP testing is scheduled to start Tuesday, Jun 1—TOMORROW. Normally, we would do this in-school, of course. We are planning to facilitate it for at-home administration for Grades 2-8.
The first step is to determine that your devices and internet are at least at the minimum readiness requirements. To do that, use this link and follow the steps for each device.
We will follow the schedule on the Map Testing Schedule for the sessions which will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. When it is your child’s testing time, he/she can click on the red Meet link to join with a teacher for instructions. (The link is the same for ALL sessions for ALL grades.) A test link and session code will be posted in the two right columns to begin the test. After instructions, students will be dismissed from the Meet, but can re-join anytime for questions or clarification. Of course, students cannot receive help from others or from other resources.
As the notes on the shared sheet explain, the main purpose of the testing is to help us on the school side to evaluate how well we are delivering the school curriculum. It will help your child realize that it is not so much about evaluating them. As before, we will distribute reports on the norm-referenced results with the next issue of report cards. See the Notes area for more pointers.
If you feel this would be too stressful for your child, please let us know and we will happily make other arrangements when school is back in session.
I hope you and your children enjoy the challenge!

The Little Prod
“There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fills you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.” — Robert Frost
Thank you, students, for persevering and working hard even though we cannot be together! Thank you, Mrs. Span, for joyfully leading this class in Godly, transformative learning!
