Wow! What a hard working group of students!
Ohio Achievement Test
| April 29, 2012 | Posted by mgau under Uncategorized |
Last week, some students took the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA). I am very proud of the hard work and effort that I saw the students put forth. The OAA is a very long (and sometimes boring) test, but our students worked diligently throughout the assessment and did their very best. Observing the children apply their knowledge and use strategies learned in class certainly filled my bucket!
Way to go, students!
No Practice Spelling Test Today
| April 26, 2012 | Posted by mgau under Uncategorized |
The students did not take a practice spelling test today as planned. I was out of the room administering the OAA test to some students during our language arts period, and I forgot to leave the spelling test for Ms. Greene (she was covering my class) to give. All students will take the spelling test tomorrow. I apologize for the oversight.
