Students prepare for tests

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

GRAVETTE - Contestants, on March 28, in Gravette’s Upper Elementary multipurpose room answered questions to prepare for state testing last week.

Two teams each from the third, fourth and fifth grade classes competed againsttheir classmates to answer questions as if from the Benchmark Examination scheduled last week.

Similar to the TV show, “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader,” the exercise was more for the “parents to learn benchmark items than the students,” said Dorothy Hadley, parent development facilitator.
