Third graders,
After exploring the DRC app to practice language arts and reading advice from Mrs. Weitzel's 5th graders, I'm curious to know how you are now feeling about M-STEP. Please share your thoughts with me!! 1. What are you EXCITED about? 2. What SUGGESTIONS to you have to people to prepare for Monday's test? 3. What QUESTIONS do you have still? 4. What tools or things do you NEED to know about on the DRC app?

i am exited about m step. i suggest that have a lot of sleep bring 2 snacks for the moring and afternoon. and dont be scared because when we did the traing for m step i fely good you even dont have to practice because it gives all the qusetions that you learned in 1st 2nd 3rd. and you can use these kinds of tools while your using m step a highlighter,stickynote,linequide, and magnifineglass. good luvk on m step

I am exited that this is our first M-step because there is so many new things that there was and we are doing it in our i pads. A suggestion i have is to charge your i pad to 100 percent because M-step ususally takes almost all your charge! also another suggestion i have is to have a good night sleep. also you should bring 2 snacks one for the morning one for the afternoon and no liquad snaks or fruits because your i pad can be sticky and won't work as well. something that i have a qeastionabout is how much time does it usually take to do the M-step. tools you need are headphones i pad keyboards and snacks hope this helps you!

1:Im exited about the fact that we can do it on the ipads. thats really cool. my sugggestion is turn your ipad on low brightness because your ipad will last longer. if are ipads dont work we will have to do it on somebody elses ipad and they will get the credit for are work. nothing.

I am exicted to get the levels up and do the problems because M-STEP sounds fun with it being like a video game on our IPADS and not on PAPER!!! M-STEP to me sounds really fun this year!!! Some suggestions i have for people is that on M-STEP is on Monday so on Sunday you should have a good sleep in the night. if you normally stay up till 10:00 or 11:00 DON'T DO THAT ON THE DAY RIGHT BEFORE M-STEP!!@!!! You shouldn't stay up late bby watching a movie or doing something. if somebody or something stops you from sleeping like every day maybe like your dog that barks for the whole night you should talk to your parent about it so you don't GET TIRED OR SLEEP IN THE CLASSROOM! You should even not bring a sticky snack because you don't want to ruin your ipad and make it sticky! 1 question i still have is that i know we are practicing on the DRC INSIGHT app but i am a little confused if we are doing the real test on the DRC INSIGHT app or on a M-STEP APP. The tools or things you need to know about The DRC INSIGHT app is when you want to take notes or want to solve something you can use a sticky note, if you want to zoom you can use the magnifyng glass, if you want to mark the spot of where you are reading you can use the line guide, if you want to cross your answer because you think it is wrong then you can use the Cross out.

i agree with you Arjun!! i agree especially with what you said in charging your ipad because like you said that your ipad has 14% left and if your ipad dies during M-STEP it is a huge, big problem.

I am excited that we we will be doing m-step. My suggestion is that we get everything enough to get ready for the test. For exaple, get a good night's sleep- studies prove that you need nine to eleven hours of sleep every night. Eat a good healthy breakfast- your needs enough energy to last long for the M-step. If you eliminate answers, it will increase the likeihood of getting the answers right. Why does the pause give a timer? I do not need to know anything.

I am excited about getting my test score back and I do not want to get a bad score because my mom will get mad but I like how this year we are using the wonderful IPADS but DRC does not let you out and one time I was stuck in it just for practice. A suggestion I have is to bring dry snacks and get plenty of sleep so you do the best you can on the test and you do not fall asleep. Your IPAD has to be fully charged because the whole test is on your IPAD and if it is not charged it will run out of battery and... OH NO! MY IPAD JUST DIED!but do not get to worryed about it to much just charge it before you go to bed to when you wake up and it will be at 100% but do not do this... OH NO! MY IPAD IS AT 99%!!, IT WILL NOT LAST THE DAY!Do not do that. it's okay if it's at 99% but just really low. they have spare IPADS but still charge it!

I agree with you. you should charge your Ipad. the part where you said OH NO! MY IPAD IS NOT FULLY CHARGED! was silly but still a good way to tell us not to act.
