Today all of the 8th grade LA classes went to the computer lab and took their NWEA Language Usage tests. I appreciate how most students concentrated, taking their time and answering thoughtfully. Your scores reflected it!
At the end of each class, we had a conversation about what the scores mean and what types of questions snagged students. I had to explain that the test adapts itself for each student. So if you are moving along, answering questions correctly one right after the other, you will eventually find yourself with more difficult questions to really test you. If you struggle to answer those correctly, the test will readapt and move you back down to find a good comfort level.
Parents, please ask your students about their scores and the conversations we've had.
Happy Labor Day Weekend! (No homework! :-) HOWEVER, we will take that Prepositional Phrase Quiz that was scheduled for today. We simply ran out of time. Students, you will be allowed to use your preposition list on the test.
Fondly,
Mrs. Venekamp
