Dear Team,
We have finished (or almost finished ) MAP Growth test Fall sessions. As you all know, this testing period requires a lot from teachers and students. Especially, it is 3rd graders first standarized test, and many of them need a little extra encouragement.
We'd like to highlight Irene Samaniego's way to make MAP a bit lighter for the kids through encouraging messages. They were a nice reminders on how much she believes in their students.
Teaching is profession from the heart. Thank you Ire for reminding us that small details have a huge impact on students' motivation!
Enjoy your long weekend, you truly deserve the extra sleep!
Moni & Marga
