For our Reading Tests, it is helpful for students to read or listen to the stories again using their online text and ask them questions about what they've read.

 

For Spelling Tests, I suggest completing a "fake spelling test" at home where someone gives the list verbally as your child writes the answers. If your child gets any wrong, then have them write that word 5x each. Additionally, students can practice their Spelling words on Vocab A-Z or in any of the fun choice board ways they like the best.

 

For Grammar Tests, please review the IXL skills, workbook pages, worksheets, and additional lesson using the online text. As you review with your child, please send me a note if you have any questions or concerns, and I will be happy to help!

 

 

Math

 

 

 

Studying for tests- Review Practice Test, Reteaching pages, complete incomplete lesson pages, practice buddies, etc. You may also go on IXL and look for starred skills for additional practice. 

If your child is having trouble with a lesson, please feel free access Savaas online and watch the lesson again. Please send me a note about any issues your child is having, and I will be happy to work with them the next day. 

 

Science

 

 

Your child has an interactive text this year, so they will be writing in the text at times. However, please be advised that most of our lessons will be done digitally, so there will be mostly end of the lesson pages completed. Feel free to fill in pages that we have covered digitally in class as a way to help your child prepare for future assessments.
