NO HOMEWORK in MS. BRAM'S ROOM TODAY!!

The students completed their "Language Usage" MAP test during class.

WHAT IS MAP TESTING?
  • MAP assessments provide detailed data about where each child is on their unique learning path.
  • MAP adapts to a student’s responses – as they take the test.
    • Answer a question correctly and the test presents a more challenging item
    • Miss a question, and MAP offers a simpler item
    In this way, the test narrows in on a student’s learning level, engaging them with content that allows them to succeed.
