That said, it&#8217;s important to stress the importance of the test. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have been working hard to reinforce test taking strategies. These are all skills we have practiced in class. \u00a0You can have your child practice at home by looking at the M-Step Blog post links.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read questions first, then read the text selection. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliminate answers that don&#8217;t make sense helps when you&#8217;re unsure of an answer. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also expect students to use highlighters on the text to show where they found evidence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three sections to the test. \u00a0The test is untimed. Students will take the test in the morning, immediately after attendance. \u00a0It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that your child is on time to school on these days. Being late adds an extra measure of stress that we want to avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following schedule will begin next week. \u00a0We also have make up days for students. If your child is sick, it\u2019s better to use a make up day than to test while ill.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ELA (Listening): Tuesday, April 30<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ELA : Wednesday, May 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Math: Tuesday and Wednesday, May 7-8<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs. Joachim<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs. Lozon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs. Halimi<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\f<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3rd Grade M-Step Begins Next Week!
