ELA Monday and Tuesday

Hi Families,

Just a reminder that the ELA is Monday and Tuesday.  Day 1 will be 45 minutes, and the students will answer approximately 25 multiple choice and some short answer questions.  Day 2 will be 50 minutes.  I'll read an article to the class twice, they'll take notes, and then they'll answer some multiple choice and short answer questions about the passage.  The test ends with a brief editing passage.

I administered a practice run of Day 1 of last year's test so the class knows how it will  feel.  They  did really well!  I'm sending it home today or tomorrow in case  you want to see what Monday will be like.

You've heard it before, but remember that the best thing for your kids to do on testing days is to sleep tight and breathe easy!

Take care,

Lauren
