For 3-5th graders March 28-30 were very important. These were the dates of the ELA state test.The ELA is an assessment that measures a students understanding of a text.

There is a lot of backlash against the tests. Some parents think that too much pressure is put on kids with the tests. I agree that there is too much pressure on kids with the tests. The entire school year is about one moment and if you fail at that one moment you’re done. No matter how well you did on practices, if you fail that 1 time your grades are ruined, and then you’re in trouble and because you failed you may not get into the middle school you wanted to go to.

In the comments below, please tell me how you feel about the tests.
