ISAT practice

ISAT is going to be here before you know it and I'm sure many of you are sloggin your way through reviewing all of the objectives and goals. I have put together a few sites that will allow you to take practice tests (from IL and other states) together with your students. If you go to my website http://mrspirmann.net/ and click on the 4th grade button, I have listing a few sites that are available for standardized testing practice. These are in standardized format, multiple choice questions. Under the "testing" section on the 4th grade page, you will see links to VA state testing site, Jefferson Labs practice test, and ISAT practice tests. You can pull these up and review with the whole class. Choose your grade level and subject. (other state standardized tests should be similar for math and reading. Social studies and science goals may differ though)

One way to "spice it up" a bit for your students could be to use the Activotes or Activexpressions with these practice questions. If you use the Express Poll button you can have the students respond to the questions with the Votes or Expressions and then see the results immediately. What a great way to assess their readiness. If you click on this link it will take you to the directions on how to use Express Poll with Activotes/Expressions. http://mrspirmann.net/learnerresponsesystem.pdf .
