Week 31: Math Test

The NYS Math Test will take place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students will have 60 minutes to complete 23-25 multiple choice questions on day one and two. Day three will feature six short response questions and four extended response questions with students having 90 minutes to finish the test. The short and extended responses will require students to read complex problems that require multistep solutions.

Please make sure your child on time to school those days (as usual). In the days leading up to the test, please make sure your child is getting enough rest and coming to school after eating a nutritious breakfast.

On a separate note, some students have been able to watch the Shakespeare film using the link in the previous post while others experienced some difficulty. If you cannot access it through this blog, it is available on Youtube. Search BBC animated Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream and you should get it.
UPDATE: Due to a copyright issue, the BBC video is no longer available. Instead, please enjoy the Mr. Magoo Midsummer Night's Dream episode above this post..

We also have a new math video featuring Keith and Roshi as they discuss quadrilaterals. This video will be up by Saturday morning. Enjoy the show!

Have a happy weekend!
