MAP TESTING

Wow! It is that time of year for the end of the year testing. My class just took the reading MAP test and I had 17 pass their goal and 6 not meet their goal. 2 of the six missed their goal by one or two points. I am really impressed with the grow of my students. I have been out on leave after having a baby and have been gone for the past 3 months. It is amazing to see the growth in the students after being gone for so long. The students were just starting to build their fluency and comprehension when I left. They have come along way over the year. My sub and I have really focused on mini-lessons with the students. We have used anchor charts with the objectives on them to help guide and focus the students with their learning. I have found this to be a great idea just posting them on your anchor chart. This was something that was taught and talked about this summer at the Lit. Institute. This has made me focus my lessons and not make them long or drawn out. We will be taking the Math MAP test next week. I hope the students do as well on this. I am not really sure how well I have been teaching the vocab. Does anyone have any suggestions about teaching math vocab in the future? Good luck to everyone else with all the testing at the end of the year. It is fun to see the growth!
