AIMS Week

We have learned A LOT this year! Now it's up to YOU to show what you know! I know each and every one of you will give your ABSOLUTE BEST next week. In the mean time, here are some suggestions to help you study. "Study, study" the materials in your assessment folder. I know.. "Nag, nag"...Remember, it takes the brain at least 5-100 times of exposure to learn something new (storing information into long-term memory). I've got news for you....It's very difficult to teach ALL of the 5th grade standards over 100 times. It's up to you to read over the concepts and study what you don't know at this point. That is why I have assigned practice packets and study guides...Not to torture you, but to help you. :-)

In addition, try these links out:

1. Poetry

2. Writing Links

3. IX

Have a wonderful weekend-don't forget to shop for HEALTHY snacks!
