Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) Update

We are just wrapping up Math MCA testing. Last week we completed the Reading MCA. Next week it is Juice Cup Stacking and of course science. Although the science MCA is given to fifth grade students, all third through sixth grade students must become proficient at stacking juice cups. There are principals in Minnesota who question the importance of testing student’s ability to stack cups, but I am a good soldier and do what MDE requests. I have included a photo of students who today used their lunch period to practice for the exam.
