Yes, it's true. CSAP is just around the corner!
Third grade will be taking the reading tests next week! On Tuesday and Wednesday, for one hour only, first thing in the morning. Please, please, please make sure your child is well rested and has a great breakfast those mornings. We will also be feeding them healthy snacks as soon as they come in to make sure their brains and bodies are really ready for the exhausting process of sitting still and thinking hard for that hour. Speaking of which, if you would love to donate oranges, bananas, cheese sticks, go-gurts, or anything like that, we would greatly appreciate it!
The second rumor that you are probably hearing is also true. I, Ms. Whalen, am not allowed to administer the CSAP to 3rd grade this year. Colorado Department of Education has stated that any teacher, with a child of their own in the grade that they teach, not be allowed to administer the test. Even if my child was in another school, but in 3rd grade, I would not be allowed to give the test. I am horribly upset by this and just found out last Wednesday. My students just found out today and they aren't too happy about it either. I believe that Ms. Neuhart will step into my classroom during the testing period. I will still be in the building and a part of the class at every other point during those days. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, email or post here.
Thanks!
