VSP: STAAR Test Review at Long Acres Ranch
April 30, 2019 @ 8:00 am - 11:30 am
Help 5th grade students review for their STAAR tests at a fun, hands-on event at Long Acres Ranch. All the materials have been prepared with a scripted lesson for you to follow. They are looking for individuals who are knowledgeable, or willing to immerse themselves into these subjects to add some depth and meaningful interactions during the lessons. The sessions are designed to be about 20 minutes in length and the volunteers will run the sessions and play the role of educator and facilitator. It’s a fairly short but fun day for the kids and volunteers. They ask the volunteers to get there at 8 am to prepare the first lesson at 8:30 am. The rotations would conclude at 11:30 am.
