We are exiting March--at long last! We can look forward to warmer days this week! The true harbinger of spring for me is the coming of peepers (if you live near water you're sure to have heard them); they usually arrive around the 10th regardless of how miserable the weather has been beforehand. I so anxiously await them. . .

READING, GRADES 5 & 6
All this week we're practicing for SBACs, the new rigorous replacement for NECAPS which we'll pilot later this month. Monday, we watched a short video to familiarize ourselves with all the "tools" they'll be able to use. It is helpful, so I'm posting it here in case anyone wants to go over it again. Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will be individual practice days. Playing around with it a bit and getting familiar with the format will hopefully demystify the process and prepare our students for the actual test.
