TEST Prep!

                                           
Is it true? This is the week of our timed ACT TESTS?

 
 
 
                           Yes, but do not fear!  You can do it!
                                
Tuesday is 30 minutes of WRITING and 30 minutes of LANGUAGE.
 
 
Really?? Wednesday is 60 minutes of Cold Passages?
 
 
 No problem...read the questions first and find evidence in the passage for your answers.  Think of it as a scavenger hunt!
 
 
Thursday is another hour of MATH?!?

Just remember to read the problem, figure out what it is asking and decide whether to add, subtract, multiply or divide!

 

 

 

 

Parents, please try NOT to pick up early from school for the next two weeks.  We will be reviewing for our end of the year tests and every minute in school is important. Anyone that wants to send testing snacks please do...we would appreciate the extra energy!
