Testing - Kemp

Parents-

Testing has finally arrived! The kids have practiced quite a bit so they're familiar with how it works on the computers. Should be second nature now. They've seen all the material and I feel like they're ready. I just need their best effort. 

We start in the morning around 8 and most days it will last about 2 hours. Actual test time hovers around 70-90 minutes. They'll break in between sections for a bathroom break and stretch. We should finish each day by 10:30-11:00. Our specials time is 1:35-2:00 during testing week. They need to be rested each day. Thanks!

The kids seemed very surprised to find out that we'll continue to work from now until the end of the year. They have Social Studies and Science projects - the Instructional Videos. They'll research a standard and create their own educational movie. They're working on Social Studies this week and Science next week. We'll look at introduction to 6th grade standards after that. In Reading, we're continuing with Pictures of Hollis Woods. In Math, it's review and preview for 6th. I'll only test them on 5th grade skills, though.

Remind them how effort is the key with this testing thing (and life). 

Thanks!
Shane Brazile
