Materials for M-STEP Mastery

Help me give my students books to expose them to test prep materials to help them prepare for high-stakes testing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elder's classroom raised $215

My Project

Third grade is the first year that students will be expected to take those big high stakes tests we all hear about every year. My students were in kindergarten when the pandemic first started. They missed quite a bit of learning.

I would like them to have exposure to past test questions from M-STEP tests as well as other texts that offer critical thinking skills.

Having these texts will allow me to differentiate instruction for my students who need to build reading and math skills by starting at the beginning of these texts.
