  1. 5th Grade CRCT Presentation Welcome to 5th Grade! Thank you for allowing us to teach your children. Mrs. Gosse, Mrs. Grammer, Ms. Poimboueuf, Mrs. Rowe, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Way, Mrs. Bryant and Ms. Folts

  2. Test Dates • Tuesday 22nd-Friday 25th and Tuesday 29th. • Please make sure your child is at school not later than 7:40 if you plan for he/r to eat breakfast. This will also give time for the restroom and a moment to relax before the test.

  3. A few Reminders • Our students are prepared, so we treat this test as we would any test we give. Encourage your child to do their best and leave it at that. • Testing days are exhausting. Please remind coaches that this week is test week.

  4. Reading What has your child learned this year?

  5. Language Arts • Even back in kindergarten your child has been building a knowledge base. • Each year more and more has been added to culminate in students being able to write and speak and recognize the Conventions of Standard English.

  6. What have we mastered? • We know conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections. • We can form the correct verb tense. • We can use capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when we write. • We can expand and reduce sentences. • We can use suffixes and prefixes. • We can use figurative language.

  7. Vocabulary • This year we have acquired general academic and domain specific vocabulary. • This includes words and phrases that indicate, contrast, addition, and other logical relationships.

  8. We all know that reading opens the mind!

  9. Informational Reading • Informational Reading is reading based on facts. Students are able to make connections between two or more people, events, or ideas within historical, scientific, and technical text.

  10. Elements of Literary Text • Students are able to identify similarities and differences in characters, settings, and events in stories/dramas using details in the text.

  11. Writing • This year students have written in several different genres. This was in preparation for the Writing Test 5th graders took recently.

  12. Our Writing Focus • This year our focus has been on three styles: • Opinion/persuasive • Informative • Narrative

  13. How does writing affect the CRCT? • Tests can come with multiple choice, true or false, or written response. We see and hear what students have learned in the classroom, but they must be able to write by introducing a topic, stating an opinion, organizing their information, and using details. The CRCT will be moving more towards written responses.

  14. Social Studies Standards In fifth grade, students continue their study of United States history. As with fourth grade, the strands of history, geography, civics, and economics are fully integrated. Students study United States history beginning with the Civil War and continue to the present. The geography strand emphasizes the influence of geography on U.S. history. The civics strand emphasizes concepts and rights as outlined in amendments to the U. S. Constitution. The economics strand uses material from the historical strand to further understanding of economic concepts.

  15. Historical Understandings • The student will explain the causes, major events, and consequences of the Civil War. • The student will analyze the effects of Reconstruction on American life. • The student will describe how life changed in America at the turn of the century.

  16. Historical Understandings • The student will describe U.S. involvement in World War I and post-World War I America. • The student will explain how the Great Depression and New Deal affected the lives of millions of Americans. • The student will explain the reasons for America’s involvement in World War II.

  17. Historical Understandings • The student will discuss the origins and consequences of the Cold War. • The student will describe the importance of key people, events, and developments between 1950-1975. • The student will trace important developments in America since 1975.

  18. Geographic Understandings • The student will locate important places in the United States. • The student will explain the reasons for the spatial patterns of economic activities.

  19. Government/Civic Understandings • The student will explain how a citizen’s rights are protected under the U.S. Constitution . • The student will explain the process by which amendments to the U.S. Constitution are made. • The student will explain how amendments to the U. S. Constitution have maintained a representative democracy.

  20. Economic Understandings • The student will use the basic economic concepts of trade, opportunity cost, specialization, voluntary exchange, productivity, and price incentives to illustrate historical events . • The student will describe the functions of four major sectors in the U. S. economy. • The student will describe how consumers and businesses interact in the U. S. economy. • The student will identify the elements of a personal budget and explain why personal spending and saving decisions are important.

  21. Math • The grade-by-grade K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals—which taken together provide students with a strong foundation for learning and applying more demanding math concepts and procedures, and for moving into robust applications.

  39. How does it work? Go to the school web page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find the link for Renaissance Learning.

  40. How does it work? Click on the blue tab for student log in. Your child’s log in will be as follows: User Name: firstname.lastname Password: six digit birthday. Ex:030603

  41. Let’s get to work! Your child can work in one of two places. Math Facts in a Flash is a program that helps with math facts. Accelerated Math is Standard Based instruction.

  42. Click on Accelerated Math. Once you click on the AM tab you will see this screen. Click on the drop down box. Click on CRCT Practice

  43. Almost ready to work! 1. Your child may or may not have assignment for tests, practice or diagnostics. Whatever the assignment just click to begin.

  44. We have given your child access to all of the standards they have not mastered. • This is available 24 hours a day and on weekends.

  45. Features: Objectives are the standards students are working on. If you or your child do not understand the standard or objective click on the help. A math glossary is available. Click on the “+” sign for more resources.

  46. Resources: 1.The glossary will read the words to students. 2. A video tutorial is available for all objectives. 3. A list of students who have mastered the objective in the class is available for peer support.

  47. Ready to work: Click on the back button at the top of the page to go back to start practice. You can also see your child’s progress for the year on the bottom of the screen. This will have a list of all the work he or she has complete in AM since school started.

  48. Ready to work? Click start work out your problem, click on your answer and click next. If you need help with this problem click “problem help” for tutorials. This problem can also have a flag to remind you to check this problem before you submit the assignment. When you have completed the assignment click on submit.

  49. Almost Finished! Check the problem that you flagged. Review your work. You can click on the red and see why you missed a problem.
