Hi everyone! I hope you're all dug out after the blizzard. :-)
Tonight's Homework:
Math: DWP Week 18
Spelling: Unit 21 sentences
It would be a great help if you could proofread the sentences your child writes since that seems to be a great area of struggle right now.
Also, if you are interested in having your child practice for the PARCC test online, there is a link on the right side of this page to take you directly to the practice tests. When you get to the fourth grade tests, you will the following initials: PBA (Performance Based Assessment) and EOY (End of the Year) We will be taking the PBA first in March, so that would be a great one to start with. We will be practicing in school on Fridays for an hour in the media center computer lab.
Thanks and have a great evening. Be careful out there!
Hey...a couple of questions for you. Will the kids be taking the test online or by paper? Just wondering if I should have them practicing online to be more familiar with it. But I printed it off nonetheless. Also, the reading passages are quite long. How much time will the kids have for testing? Just wondering if they will have enough time to get through it all.
ReplyDeleteIt will definitely be online. They will have about an hour to complete a whole test. It is definitely in their best interest to practice online at home using the link above. We will be doing it on Fridays for an hour. Working on the printed copy is fine too, though, because they will still get acclimated to the way the questions are worded. It is very different from ISAT.
ReplyDeleteYes...it's very different...it gives me butterflies...haha. I'm starting with the reading first. Praying for the kids!!!
