In an effort to incorporate a more holistic educational approach and help prepare students for the ISAT test, Illinois Ag In The Classroom has developed new activities for use in the 4th grade classroom. (6th grade activities are coming soon.)
The goal is to give teachers 20 weeks worth of review materials to use to prepare for ISAT testing. The activities are intended to take no more than 10 minutes a day and to use Ag Mags as a resource. Ag Mags are available from the Vermilion County Farm Bureau or online at: www.agintheclassroom.org
The intended format for each week is as follows:
Monday: Introduce the Ag Mag - have students read and use pre-reading strategies
Tuesday: Vocabulary Activity related to the Ag Mag
Wednesday: Math Activity related to the Ag Mag
Thursday: Reading Passage and questions related to the Ag Mag
Friday: Extended Response question related to the Ag Mag
There are 20 Ag Mags in print and/or online for use for the 20 weeks. Visit the Illinois Ag In The Classroom website to download the ISAT materials. www.agintheclassroom.org
