Every March, all 3rd grade students in the state of Indiana take the I-Read test.
IREAD-3 measures foundational reading standards through grade 3. We had 32 students take the test, and I am pleased to announce that 100% of them passed! Our 3rd graders have been working very hard, and we are very proud of them. Today we celebrated with donuts on the playground!
The success of the students on this test is directly related to their parents, and all of the teachers they have had leading up to the test. It started with parents reading to the child from an early age, and continues with the foundation they have received in Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. It definitely takes a team, and the team worked great together!
Way to go, 3rd grade! We are proud of you!
