Unit Tests
At the end of each unit, students will complete an assessment. Each assessment is divided into three parts: Part A, Part B, and Open Response. Part A is designed to assess students on what they have already learned. Part B is designed to assess their readiness for the next unit, and the Open Response part is an enrichment section. At times, students will complete the enrichment section (as a class) and at other times students will work individually. Please review the test with your child. Please keep in mind that taking tests is a learned skill. First grade students are beginning to learn how to take tests. Be sure to celebrate your child's strengths and understand his or her areas of nontalent.
