Spring MAP Testing Begins This Week!


Tomorrow we begin MAP testing in grades 3-5.  By working together,  we can make this a positive experience for your child!  Here are some suggestions to help your child succeed.

·        Be sure your child is well-rested.
·        Start the day with a protein-packed breakfast.
·        Remind your child to use the tools we have practiced in guidance lessons.  Throughout the year, we have worked on strategies to help us get into the “green zone” like deep breathing and positive self-talk. Check out https://www.stopbreathethink.com/ for guided meditations.
·        Give compliments for effort: “I’m proud of how hard you have worked this year.”  Even better…send them to school each day with a note of encouragement!

MAP test sessions will run Tuesday through Friday for the next two weeks.  3rd and 4th graders will begin at 8:30; 5th graders will begin at 10:45.  Let me know if you have any questions. 

Have a great week!
