Practice for State Testing

Just thought I would share a few online sites that I think will be helpful.
- Sherri Burks, 3rd Grade Teacher at Reynolds Arthur Academy

This test is extremely intense. Here are a few practice sites - I think they will help with the OAKs State Test.

http://www.skonline.org/website/mathonline/3rd/3rdweek1.htm - this is a great site - I just discovered. I really like it. It has practice problems for upper grades.

http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/testing/samples/2007_08/asmtmasamptst0408engg3.pdf - this is actual tests from previous years.

http://www.studyisland.com/demoAsk.cfm?myState=OR - this one is an actual test you can purchase for practice and tutoring - but it does offer some free practice ?'s.

Spring Forward

Don't forget THIS Sunday, March 8th is the start of Daylight Savings Time. That means one less hour of sleep on Saturday night!

Here's a link to a fun Blog for Moms with tips on how to help your child adjust.

Hey Everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that we are starting the application process for the Oregon Trail School District in Sandy. We will hold a parents meeting for anyone interested at the Sandy Community Center on March 4th at 7pm in the cafeiteria. There are a lot of families out there wanting what we already have so this is great news! I just wanted a little help getting the word out so if you know anyone in the Sandy, Damacus, Estacada, or Boring areas that will have a child in K-2 in the fall of 2009 that would be interested in our great school please pass on my e-mail address and I can get them more information. Thanks...Dayna Brown BrownLDS8@Yahoo.com
