Dear Students and Parents,
Spring Break is here. Generally this is a time to work hard and fill in any gaps that you do not understand, and to begin reviewing for our California Standards Test at the end of April/May.
Instead of copying endless review sheets for you, I am asking that you do something instead.
I would like for you to visit the following website:
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sr/css05rtq.asp
and print out your grade’s Math Released Test Questions and complete all 95 of them before Friday, April 5th. These are questions from previous year’s tests. In doing these questions you will get a strong idea of what you need to know for the state test. Except for Geometry (a unit that we have not studied yet, but many of you know it already) pick 5 questions that gave you trouble that you would like the whole class to review.
You may also download and print the English Language Arts portion and complete this packet as well. It can only help practice the comprehension, grammar and punctuation.
If, for some reason you are unable to print and complete the math problems….. Go to your local book store and buy a “Test Prep” book for your grade level and work out of that.
Of course, reading over the break is important. In addition, I have some wonderful links to websites that will also be fun and helpful. Play on multiplication.com or ixl.com on a daily basis to keep your skills strong.
The more you do, the better off your will be. Take responsibility for your education!
Have a restful and fun vacation.
Be Safe,
Mrs. Robyn Haber
