On Monday, we reviewed and prepared for testing. We discussed our individual goals, what score it will take to be considered proficient, and test taking strategies. We are a VERY competitive group and have challenges going against other people in our homerooms, people in other homerooms, and other classes as a whole. It's going to be interesting to see who can walk the walk and who just talks the talk!
Ms. Goldy created a sign for us to sign after we are done testing. If we score a 221 or better, we get to sign because we are PROFICIENT (or better). Some of us are only a few points away, some of us have a quite a bit of work ahead of us, and some of us are far past 221. We are trying to beat the current high score of 249 (from the Winter test window) and take down Landan Swartz! Let me just say, there's never been more trash talkin' than there has been the past few days! (All in good fun of course!)
This is the BEFORE picture. BEFORE we tackle the test and show it who's boss! :)
On Tuesday we M.A.P. tested for Math. It was an eventful day to say the least and overall, we did an AMAZING job! We still have a few classmates who need to test because they were absent, but so far, Ms. Goldy is VERY pleased.

This is our poster AFTER we kicked the test's butt! Our scores rock! Ms. Goldy did a special shout-out to McKenna Moore who scored a WHOPPING 252! McKenna's score was 31 points above grade level, off the charts, and officially the highest score ever at O.E.S. since we've been doing M.A.P. assessments (3 years)! Although, McKenna didn't win by much because in a close second place was John Wells with a high score of 250! 5th Grade at O.E.S. are an amazing group of kids and Ms. Goldy couldn't be prouder! :)
On another note, we've had another person donate to our classroom grant on Donor's Choose, putting us $50 closer to our goal of getting our two tablet computers for the classroom! Read about our project below and donate to help our cause if you're so inclined! We thank you and are keeping our finger crossed that we get our tablets soon!

Tips to help our project:
1. After entering a donation amount, on the review screen, click the link that says "optional 15% donation". Change the 15% to 0% and click "save", as this will allow 100% percent of what is donated to go directly to our project, as opposed to helping fund the site.
2. On the payment screen, where it says "I have a gift or match code:" enter ZONKER This will allow whatever monetary value donated to be DOUBLED! For example, if you enter $5 along with the code, $10 will be applied towards our project, thereby helping it get funded in half the time.
