MAP Prep!

Well for the past month we have been really getting our students ready for the MAP test. We have been working on literacy; including writing prompt, short answer, multiple choice, and constructed response answers. Same with math we are working on time, measurement, graphing, and geometric shapes. We are calling it MAP Madness and splitting the boys and girls of all third grade into 2 girl groups and 2 boy groups, the kids absolutely love it the most. Other then that Math is killing me because we are working with fractions and it is kind of a struggle, but I have found some really great websites on fractions on line...here are just a few :

The kids really enjoy these during computer lab time.
Plus Parent teacher conferences went really well.
Yesterday was my birthday too...the big 24 !!!!!!
