I am impressed with those of you who are using your time wisely to prepare for the cumulative final and the written assessment. This week will include review of the many concepts that will be covered on the assessments. Have questions? ASK!
Monday: Grammar Diagnostic. Contrary to rumors I have heard, this test DOES NOT count as a grade in language arts, nor does it impact "placement" for next year's language arts classes. This grammar test is different from the one you took for math. It is the same test you took at the end of fifth grade and will take again at the end of seventh. It helps us see if the way we are teaching grammar from one year to the next is effective.
Day 2 and Day 3: The entire class period on both days will be devoted to review. As usual, I have a few tricks up my sleeve (that's an idiom) to make the review fun but educational.
Day 4: FIELD DAY! Sunscreen! Hats! Bug spray! Water! If there is rain and the Field Day activities are postponed, this will be DAY 1 of the written final assessment (literary elements in your choice novel).
SCHEDULE CONTINUED BELOW THE SYMBALOO. Click on the Symbaloo Mix for a variety of review sources. IMPORTANT NOTE: some of these require Flash Player, which we do not have on our school computers.
