STAR
5th, 8th, & 10th graders will take the STAR Science test. This is a paper and pencil test based on the CA state science standards. I will forward more info on when this will be administered as soon as I get it.
What you can do to help your students get ready
The more familiar students are with the types of questions asked and the format of the test, the less stressful the test will be.

Practice Keyboarding Skills
Students will have to type words, sentences and paragraphs and use numbers and symbols on a computer keyboard to answer the test questions. The more comfortable students are using a computer keyboard, the more they will be able to focus on answering the questions.
There are lots of free typing and keyboarding games on the internet. Just do a Google search for "free typing games" or "keyboarding free".
5th, 8th & 10th Graders can study for the STAR science test using the California Department of Education's Released Test Questions.
