We do some explicit test prep in the two weeks before each statewide test so that children are prepared for the format and type of questions.

We provide children with many varied experiences in the arts as well as in the tested subjects and we teach children to be critical thinkers and problem solvers. We believe that the best preparation for these tests is great teaching every day, and we are not a school that emphasizes test prep to the detriment of instruction in a wide range of subjects. 321, like in all public schools in New York City and State, take a series of standardized tests in grades 3,4, and 5. In addition to these very important ongoing assessments, children in P.S. Using assessment to guide instruction in both literacy and math is a priority for our school. Assessments are given in math after each unit. Students are also assessed more formally three times a year in Reading (grades 1-5) and twice a year (K). AssessmentĬhildren are assessed frequently as teachers sit side by side with them in a reading conference, a writing conference, a math conference, and at choice time. Although the teaching artist develops the curriculum and leads the class, it is expected that the classroom teacher is fully engaged in assisting her and addressing discipline issues. In grades 4-5, since this is an enrichment not a cluster class, the teacher stays with the class. Grades 3-5 have the teaching artist one hour a week for a cycle (generally 12 weeks). For grades 4-5, we have a PTA funded teaching artist. paf alignments into an R session.All classes in grades K-3 have art weekly as part of their cluster/specialty program. Pafr provides the function read_paf to read. In addition, each row can have a variable number of 'tags', which share a similar format to those used in SAM files See the SAM specification (pdf). Mapping quality (0-255, with 255 if missing) Number of bases, including gaps, in the mapping Target end coordinate on the original strand

Target start coordinate on the original strand ‘+’ if query/target on the same strand ‘-’ if opposite paf file has at least the following 12 columns. PAF is a plain text tabular format where each row represents an alignment between two sequences.

Pafr processes data stored in the Pairwise m Apping Format (PAF), as produced by minimap2 and other whole-genome aligners.
