Friday Good News!

This week ended well at school after a slow and tiring start. On Fridays we have assessments. My students' test scores went up from previous weeks'.  That was an awesome feeling.  They are remembering their reading, writing, and math strategies! Yippee!! I elimnated the multiple choice on math and reading.  They were actually "forced" to show all their work on the assessments.  I have found that students tend to quickly chose an answer on a multiple choice test instead of thinking it out and showing their strategies. I am so elated for them.
