This is our last week before our end-of-level RISE test. I want students to view this test as a time to show what they know! I'm doing all I can to prepare them, but I need them in class to get prepared:) Please review the list below:
- Attend school--if you're not there for the prep, the test might be stressful
- Complete benchmarks--our last benchmarks were on the RISE portal and showed the students exactly what the system looks like. Many students either missed or didn't complete these. I'll be requesting them all week.
- Attend testing--we are right after Easter break. Please, please get back from fun vacations so you can test with me. I try really hard to make testing fun and non-stressful. Students who miss testing in class have to do make-up testing with an aide who doesn't know them. It won't be as relaxing. LA testing dates are April 23-April 26.
- Study the testing strategies I'm teaching you and the practice work we do in class: this includes (gasp) completing your NoRedInk. LA testing is skills based, there is nothing to memorize, but if you can become familiar with strategies, it'll make your life easier.
- Show what you know! Go in with a good, can-do, I'm-gonna-dominate attitude. End-of-level testing doesn't affect your grade, but the data is used for teachers to plan instruction and place you in classes, so it really does matter. Give it your best!
I will also be giving students a goal sheet where they can see their SAGE score from last year and set a goal for RISE this year, it's all about growth and I'm so excited for these students to SHINE!!
iRead Party (for students who completed a bingo card of books) will officially be Thursday, May 9th from 11-1pm at Sand Hollow Aquatic Center. We'll have popcorn, snow cones, pizza and all sorts of fun to go along with the swimming to celebrate their reading. The last day to qualify will be Friday, May 3rd. Watch for a permission slip to be emailed along with a chance to be a parent volunteer.
