Hello!

It was a pleasure to meet so many parents last evening! I told students that they are so, so fortunate to have parents who truly care about their learning. I look forward to meeting the rest of you Wed. evening!

I have started to receive videos about the new ISTEP test, CCRA,for this spring. Not only are the assessment questions very rigorous, but so are the questioning formats. Students have to know how to manipulate the navigational tools on the question to read and answer the questions; for one question they are expected to manipulate three tool bars and a tab! So...we started practicing today. We watched a video describing the various tools, and then we practiced.

On the right side of this page under "Links," you will see a practice test for a CCRA practice test. Go ahead and practice some test questions. I will have more coming. We are remembering that Acuity is a direct link to question types and skills that CCRA will test, so it will help to do your Acuity assignments.

H/W: Do Acuity assignments for 20 minutes. Use your note sheet from Friday and write the lesson name, date, take notes, and final score. If you earn a score of less that 5/6, redo it. If you log out, you will not be able to redo it. It is so important to take clear notes...if you do, you should earn a passing score using your notes.

Thank you! See you tomorrow!
