It's February and that means it is ISTEP+ time!! Each day this week our class has taken a small section of the Practice ISTEP+ Test. Practice ISTEP+ is a great way for students to become familiar with the format of the paper-and-pencil test. We've discussed and answered numerous questions about the test format and structure. Next week we will take the actual paper-and-pencil test. Fifth graders will take ISTEP+ Mathematics, Language Arts (reading/writing), and Social Studies. We are looking forward to showing what we know on this year's test. For more information on ISTEP+, please visit the IDOE website . Here you will find test item samplers and a video on recent updates to the test. If you have any questions about this year's test, please contact me. Mrs. L
