After many, many weeks of careful preparation and extremely
hard work on the part of the students themselves and then several more weeks of
individual administration of the test itself, third graders have finally
finished up with the required third-grade MCA testing. And from the looks of
the results, it appears that all of those strategies we learned about test
taking and being a good and careful reader were put to good use!
Some of those classroom strategies that were discussed and
practiced over that past couple of months included the following tips and/or
recommendations:
*This is neither a race nor a competition. Take your time
and read the passage closely and carefully as a good reader would.
*After reading the entire passage once, go back and reread
it again, just as carefully and closely as you did the first time. If
necessary, reread it again, until you are sure you understand what the text is
about.
*When it comes to answering posed questions on the test,
first eliminate all possible answers that do not apply to the given question.
*Go back and find the specific portion of the text that
refers to the posed question and find the actual answer to that question as it
appears in the text itself.
In recognition for a job well done, students will celebrate
with a tasty Dairy Queen treat!
Congratulations to all! Way to show your Sleepy Eye Pride
Third Graders!
