Proud Teacher
Two weeks of benchmark testing are DONE! And I couldn’t be happier.  :) The progress my students made from the first benchmark to this last one is amazing.  Half of my class was basic or below on the first test at the beginning of the year.  This time around?  The majority were ADVANCED!  Even better - only 2 weren’t advanced in math!  The growth you get to see out of the little...

Math Benchmark Testing Week
How do I feel in a word?  Drained. I can’t believe it’s only Monday (there’s a whole ‘nother week of this). Although I’m excited to see how my students perform, it’s excruciating to have to sit through them counting to 100 by 1’s, then 5’s, then 10’s.  Not to mention the math story problem section w/ manipulatives/drawings.
