This is a test of the emergency Padlet system. Please slowly and calmly exit through the windows in each room that you cannot open from the inside. If smoke is billowing above, drop to your knees and crawl, following the light provided by the streams of inspiration that flow through this space. If all else fails, call Charlie and she'll nudge you out with her cone, or her pineapple. xoxo

"This is an unbelievable story! It is about three bears that go for a walk while they wait for their breakfast to cool. You won't believe what happens while they're gone!"

Do you think this is a good summary?

If you like this summary, leave a comment below - but tell me WHY!

"On a cool autumn day, a family of three bears goes for a walk in the woods. While they are gone, a young girl comes to their house. She eats their grits, sits in and breaks their chairs, and then falls asleep. When the bears come home, they find the girl sleeping. The girl wakes up and runs away. She is afraid to admit the truth."

Or do you think THIS is a better summary?

Here I give you two very specific strategies for the ELA Reading Multiple Choice Test. Give this a watch. If you're curious to try, try it out! It might work, it might not. But it can't hurt to try!

IMPORTANT: If you're going to use the strategy, make sure you practice it a couple of times on the online practice test. You should be able to preview and chunk in 5 minutes or less. If you can't get that speed, try other strategies. Ask me questions if you have any!

Putting the Chunky Peanut Butter Super Sonic Iced Tea Slushy Strategy to use on an actual state Reading test. I also talk about the important tools you are given electronically and the (paper) tools you can use to your benefit in person! In the video I use the 8th grade test so that you can practice on the 6th grade test. Make sure you choose "Session 1" and Grade 6 for the Reading portion!

EVERYONE: Remember that posts on this Padlet are organized by "Stack" based on date so please keep scrolling down to see more posts!

A note about the Writing Test: It is the most difficult type of test for our 6th graders. If you need support, I am happy to work with your child. Just let me know and we'll arrange a time either in person or on Zoom.

Thanks,
