MAP Testing

Dear Fifth Grade Families,
The MAP test is quickly approaching. We have been preparing for the test by doing some released MAP items from previous years, reviewing tricky math concepts, and working on comprehending reading passages. It is very normal for the students to be nervous about the test and to be honest, I am too!

To bring some encouragement to the students and help with their nerves, I am asking a favor: think of someone in your child’s life who is important, inspirational, or just someone your child thinks is awesome! Some examples include: mom, dad, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, babysitter, grandma, grandpa, teacher, etc. Once you have chosen the person, please have them write a letter of encouragement to your child. When the letter is complete, please send it to me in a sealed envelope with your child’s name on the front (shhh… this is a secret!). The letters are due back by Tuesday, April 22.

On the first day of MAP testing, Wednesday, April 23, I will hand out the letters for the students to read. They will be so surprised and hopefully, it will give them that extra boost to “do their best on the test!” Please let me know if you have any questions!
