You just gotta love 9 year-olds...especially MY 9 year olds! We have worked SO hard this year trying to get them to grade level (in August, about 17 of my 25 were working at least 1-2 years below level). Anyways, we had the Benchmark test this week---the "big" 3rd grade end-of-year test...funny thing is, the Dept. of Education thinks the end of the year is mid-April...a whole other story!
So, here are my two cute testing stories:
*One of my little boys who struggles every day but is so cute, was working on his math portion of the test. On one of the questions, it asked him to draw a bar graph of the information in the provided table (some tally graph about favorite colors.) When I walked by his paper, I noticed he had drawn a plethora of teddy bears on his paper. Hmmm....I just walked on by shaking my head. Later I asked him what the deal was with all of the bears....he answered, "Mrs. Kennedy, it told me to draw a BEAR graph, so I did...I drew lots of bears." Oh geez....
*On the writing portion, it told them to write a story about their favorite place to go...well, about 4 of my kiddos wrote about Wal-Mart!!! When in Rome....
