Getting Excited for MAP!
Once again, students are about to take their MAP/MPG/CPAA test and we have seen you all rally around your students, making each one feel confident in their ability to do well. Here are just a few examples of this joy and how they made they built excitement for their students.
If you and your school have worked on or are working on a project to build joy around NWEA testing please share with us what you are doing. We would love to see videos, pictures or come to any events.

Updated Affixes and Root Word Lists
Summer is a great time to preview these lists for students. You may also want to provide students with the full set of grade level lists, as they differ from grade level to grade level and may be motivating for students who want to get ahead!
Attached is the list. Please feel free to share this with your students and families. We will provide more updates on how these lists will be incorporated into instruction during summer PD.
ANNOUNCEMENTS & REMINDERS
End of Year Lesson Plans
As mentioned in last week's Highlights, planning specialist have created special two week review or preview units to be used once you have completed all your RA/RC units.
These lessons will be uploaded or linked in the same location that your planning specialist has in the past. Please note below the differences between the grade levels and what material will be covered.
- TK/K4: Will not need these additional lessons because SSM has these additional days already built in
- Kinder-2nd Grade: Plans will include previewing material for next year. Each week will focus on a different STEP bottom line.
- 3rd-5th Grade: Plans will be reviewing material from the past year. They will also focus on bottom lines or comprehension skills that were noted to be challenging for students.
We are all quite excited about these plans. Our planning specialist have gotten quite creative, from teaching students about the electoral process to Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets they will definitely keep students engaged in these last weeks of school!
Please reach out with any questions about plans or dates.

Capturing Best Practices
We plan on using these for teachers next year as they begin setting up their classroom, have questions about particular parts of a lesson or need assistance as they analyze student work. Thank you for letting us capture the amazing work that you have done this year!
