Testing

This week the students seemed to be getting burned out on taking tests. They had to take the Benchmarks this week. They took the Reading Benchmark on Tuesday afternoon. The class as a whole did not score very well. It was surprising and much different than their predictive test and previous benchmarks. The passages that they had to read seemed very long to me. In addition, I think that they were too tired at the very end of the day to really concentrate on it. I think that I will try to give the PSSA tests early in the morning to try to prevent this burnout from happening.
