Orchard Benchmarking

We recently finished our second benchmark testing. When we tested in September, the goal was for each student to get at least 30% of the questions right. This time around, the goal was to hit 60%. The kids did very well. I gave them some goals to work towards. If the student made 10% higher than last time, he/she get a piece of candy. We called it the "sweet number." If the whole class made the 60% benchmark, I would treat them to lunch, soft drinks, and my homemade cookies.

I'll list some data later.
