Animal Habitat Research Project

Today, everyone will click on the link below to begin your research project.  You will need to fill out the form that I hand out to each of you.  When you have finished filling out your form, please open Pixie.  Each student will draw a picture of the animal they have chosen which should include the scenery and background of the animal's habitat.

Next week, everyone will have a chance to make a recording of the fun fact about their animal.  We will convert your recorded voice to a QR code and insert it on your Pixie drawing.  Have fun!

Scantron Testing Today

We will begin about two weeks of standardized testing in the subjects reading and math. This test helps your teachers understand what you have learned so far and how they can best help you learn more.

The Scantron test will be administered during technology classes and during the technology block of your language arts class.

A few things you should know about this test:

• The test will be slightly different for each of you. If you correctly answer a problem, it gives you more difficult problems, and if you incorrectly answer a problem, it gives you easier problems. The length of the test may be very different for each of you as well.
• You must answer every question.
• It is very important to do your best and answer all items carefully, because the test will stop if you are guessing. You will have to start over from the beginning if this happens.
• Parts of this test will be very difficult, and likely cover topics you have never seen before. Please don't worry! Make your best guess, then move on.
• When you finish, raise your hand and one of the teachers will come over to help you.    

I will provide your Scantron ID number.

More Practice for Scantron Testing

Today, you will work on a practice test for the Math portion of the Scantron test you will begin next week. Due to the fact that this is only practice, you will be allowed to ask questions when you are unsure of something on the test.

There is no sound with this test so you don't need headphones. If it's easier for you to concentrate, you may wear the headphones if you wish.

At the end of class, please remember to SAVE your test so that you can work on it later and you can see how you did!
