At Kolmar elementary school Spring brings warmer weather, the return of outdoor recess and the return of IAR testing. Students in grades 3-5 participate in the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) over a span of 3 weeks. The tests focus on ELA and Math concepts and are a lot of work for our students, but they are ready! In order to pump students up and help them feel relaxed and ready, Kolmar had an IAR pep rally on Wednesday, April 3rd- the day before testing began. Some wonderful 4th grade students presented an amazing cheer routine to get everyone pumped up. Teachers from grades 3-5 participated in a series of fun challenges and games to show students how important it is to work hard and try your best! We know our students are ready and that they will do amazing on their assessments! Good luck to all D123 students participating in IAR testing!
