🍦📚 MAP Growth Goal Getters! 📚🍦

Our CES students worked hard last week taking their Fall MAP Growth assessments in Reading and Math, and we are so proud of their effort! 📈✨

Students who met their Fall MAP goals got to celebrate their hard work with a delicious ice cream sundae! 🍨🎉

Now, the goal is set for winter! 🎯 Teachers will be working with students to set their Winter MAP goals, and we’re encouraging our Tigers to give their best effort every single day. We can’t wait to see how much they grow when we test again in December!

Set a goal. Work hard. Grow every day. 💪📖🧮

Our students used rulers to measure their shoes to the nearest inch, then turned their measurements into dot plots and bar graphs! 👟📏📊 They used real-world data to look for patterns, answer questions, and make math meaningful.

We had so much fun discovering that math is everywhere—even on our feet! 💕👣

Way to measure, graph, and learn, Mrs. Reagan’s class! 💙💛
