FILL IN THE GAPS!

March is MCAS testing and we are determined to close those achievements gaps. Hope you remember all of the things that will help you do your best, like, getting enough rest, healthy eating, exercise, and READ and WRITE something every day!

Remember the new open response writing strategies (GAPS) we have been learning in class, and,
remember success is a choice, not luck. Don't depend on getting lucky...prepare.

    MCAS is right around the corner people should start taking this GAPS strategy more serious.

    I agree, MCAS is a big thing for us middle schoolers. The steps we take to prepare us for this is even bigger. This GAPS strategy makes our Open Responses much easier.

    i have used this idea and i believe that it is very helpful since in some mcas open response questions people can get stuck and not what to highlight so this is great strategy

    I aqree with what everybody is saying above, I have been using GAPS on the open response practice prompts and I've noticed that it has been helpful in many ways.

    I have used the GAPS strategy too, it is very helpful and it keeps me organized. I think that we will all do very well on MCAS using the GAPS strategy.
