Are you ready for your 5th checkpoint?
Please click on the link to open the checkpoint. This checkpoint must be completed by Friday, this Friday by the end of the day. There is a link to google docs on the website titled, February Answer Document, that we would like you to use to submit your answers. There is no need to print and scan or to k-mail your answers please use the google docs link within the assignment.

The ELA portion contains a listening activity. Make sure you listen to the whole recording. Use the google docs link to submit your answers.
You need to try to work on these by yourself. Remember, learning coaches can’t help you with state testing in the spring, so this will give you practice on completing these problems by yourself. It will also help us know if you need extra support on these standards.
As always, completion of the checkpoints count as 10% of your final semester grade.
SBAC Review Classes
Greetings Students!
It is time to start getting your brains ready for the end of the year state tests, the SBACs! In order to help you prepare, we are beginning special SBAC prep Class Connect classes this week. There will be several sessions to choose from each week, so you can choose the time that works best for you. You only need to attend ONE session per week.
This week we will be focusing on how to use the special online tools that you will need when you take the SBAC. We will not be reviewing the actual content of the test, just the tools. Think of it like learning how to play a new video game. We will be teaching you how to turn on your controller and move all of your players, rather than how to beat the game itself.
In addition to attending these live Class Connect sessions, you will want to view the following short video tutorials. These tutorials will also help you navigate the tools on the SBAC and you can refer back to them as we get closer to the test.
