NWEA MAP Average Growth

After reading an NWEA article on http://www.seattleschools.org/area/board/08-09agendas/061709agenda/nweaoverview.pdf , What would be the "typical growth" for students in grades 2, 2, 4, and 5? It would be good to use this information for student recognition at the end of the year.

Funny classroom moments.

Please comment on funny classroom moments you can remember.

One moment I will never forget was the time a student of mine hid a dead pigeon in her pocket. When I asked why she had a dead pigeon in her pocket. She said, she wanted to take care of it because it was hit by a car.
