Today was our first day of state testing. We started off the day as we normally do, with 90 minutes in the computer lab.
We worked on our typing, used a great math website to review, and then they had 15 minutes to decompress before the testing.
Here is the specific technology game plan.
We then prepped the class and the students for the first test.
At 10:30 a.m. we began our Language Arts testing. Tomorrow will be the same time and it will be section II of the Language Arts.
Kind regards,
Mr. Hubbard
HOMEWORK FOR THE WEEK:
State Testing Prep:
If your child wants to do some prepping here is the links for California’s released questions:
Exercise -- especially if your child tends to get nervous with testing have them burn off their increased adrenaline.
More sleep than usual -- well rested people perform better
Be full of water
Great breakfast with complex carbohydrates and/or proteins.
Math Prep and Review
CLICK HERE for a great website for reviewing 5th grade skills and it even includes skill appropriate math games.
Don’t forget that my favorite the Khan Academy has a great bunch of movie math reviews.
The M,M,M, and R rap due next Friday
Click here for math notes and the mmmr rap
For our ramp up on fractions, students need to bring in a recipe and be clear how many servings it makes. This way we can be “chefs” and cut recipes in ½ or double/triple the recipe.
