MAP test

As the Map test draws near I am getting more nervous than I ever expected! I hope that my kids are ready. This week we have been doing so much map practice...I do not think that the kids are enjoying it much at all! I just keep telling them to do the best that they can, that is all I can ask of them. I plan to bring in mints, smart water, and some fresh fruit, anything that will get their brains working! We will see soon i guess :)

Spring Break

Spring break is finally here!!! I think that this break will benefit both me and my students. We need a time to relax and rest up for the big MAP test in the coming weeks. I cannot believe that there is only a little over two months left of school!! Time flies :) I often have to continue to remind myself to be consistent with my students. The expectations that were put in place during the first few weeks of school should continue being enforced. I find myself being more lenient on my students. For the success of my classroom to continue and for the sake of my sanity, I need to often remind myself what my fourth grade classroom should look like. I hope to end my first year of teaching on a positive note!
