All students took the second benchmark exam in preperation for the state assessment in Januarly. There will be one more benchmark before that test.
Students went to period one as usual, where we went over a passage completed last week.. We reviewed the procedures for taking the benchmark test.
The test was given period two. This time, there was a strict 45 minute time limit, except for those students allowed time extensions.
Overall, the students took the situation very seriously, were focused and worked hard. The results indicate some overall improvement in scores over the first benchmark exam. Given that the first test wasn't timed, I am very encouraged by the outcome.
There was no period three today.
Students are reminded to complete the vocabulary activity by Friday.
