MAP testing has occupied the IMC and the IMC staff all week. With 42 questions in the Reading test and 52 questions in the Math test, it takes many students more than the 40 minutes of a regular class. Also a number of absences delayed some students from finishing their tests. So makeups and students needing more time extended the testing beyond the scheduled 3 days. Checking students schedules and coordinating testing periods took time. Now there are only a very few students who still need to finish and they should be done on Tuesday. That means that next week the IMC gets back to regular business. The computers will be used next week by 8th grade Science, 7th grade Advanced LA/Reading, and 7th grade Social Studies. Yep, it sounds like we're back to normal.
