Hello Parents and Students!
Well, I hear ya! Testing is not fun! But with our new state test approaching, I have high expectations for our kiddos.
Our new state test is called the AzMerit Assessment. We will be taking this test on the computers, which is new for our school. Our class has been practicing typing skills, but it is always good to practice at home too. Here are two sites that are great for practicing typing skills.
Fun to Type--our class loves this one!!

Learning Games--also has some excellent games!!

Now with the AzMerit, it is important that we are practicing! Here are some sites to visit to take practice tests. There are some fabulous examples on these sites. Remember to practice Reading and Math. Let me know if you need anything or have any questions about the AzMerit Test.
