Odds and Ends:
Spelling Bee: Congrats to our classroom spelling bee winners, Shivang and Joe. I am so proud of all of the students and how well everyone did. We are excited to see Shivang and Joe represent our class in Wednesday's grade level spelling bee.
Dear Parents and Guardians of 3rd grade Panthers,
We have made the decision as a 3rd grade team not to generally administer the Winter MAP test to our students. At this time, we felt that the time away from instruction to take this test was not worth the results we would get. We have not made any decisions about the Spring MAP test. For Winter data review we continue to use Fountas and Pinnell Reading Leveling (Benchmarking next week) and our Common ELA and Math assessments that the students have taken on line which directly assess the standards we are teaching in our curriculum. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out to your homeroom teacher.
Thanks!
The Third Grade Team
