We went to the library so students could check out an actual book (not an eBook) to read after the STAAR test tomorrow. We went over expectations for tomorrow. Students should report to the small gym before 8:15 for testing (some students are testing in classrooms--check the blue sheets posted in the main hallway).

We discussed the "connecting selections" short answer question. Students read two pieces and responded to the short answer question. We then looked at student samples to see how they were scored. Finally, students shared one tip they want to remember when testing and added it to a poster outside the classroom.
