Objective: Rock the MAPS test
Activity: Take the MAPS test part one, day one
Agenda
- Bell work: Students will get out their chrome books or reading notebooks and show me their reading logs for the reading homework from last night.
- MAPS test Part 1, Day 1: This is the fall test to determine their abilities in Reading. This test measures their growth over the school year. They will take it two more times: One in winter and another one in the Spring.
Articles from Class: The Reading Log is: Here
Homework: READ 20 MINUTES EVERY NIGHT.
PARENTS: Your student has a reading log that they keep every night that keeps track of the book and author they are reading; the date they started the book; the page numbers they read during that reading session; and a star ranking of their engagement in the book. We will try to read ten to fifteen minutes daily in class, so the log should have two entries: one for in-class and one at home. I understand that schedules get crazy, but research proves that student reading comprehension, reading fluency, language acquisition, as well as simply gaining a love for reading, drastically improves when a student reads at least 20 minutes a day. If we can attempt to make the 20 minutes of reading a day part of our routine, it will exponentially help our students. Thank you.
