8/22 First Easy CBM of the Year

Greetings Class...

Obviously I am not here today and you have a substitute.

You are doing your first data collection of the year on a website I use a lot, called easy cbm.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Go to easycbm.com

2. Click on:  'STUDENTS' Click Here!

3. Type in my username: zosborne

4. Your group is your last name.

5. Then select your name.

6. Then select your test. Only one choice should be available to you. Each test is specifically selected for you by me.

7. Read the passage and answer the questions to the best of your ability.

8. When you finish, find something quiet to do that is not distracting to others.

Few Rules:

• No headphones or sound until you finish your passage and questions.
• Even if music "helps" you read. Sorry, NO HEADPHONES!
• Do you best. You are graded on effort and achieving a valid result. Outliers, or clearly effort lacking performances are easy to spot and will be graded harshly. 
• Please do not distract anyone around you until they finish. 
• These should never take longer than the full period, and if you do not finish, you will not receive full points because you were clearly not engaged. 

Have a good weekend and I will see you all Monday. Be Safe, be smart, and make good choices!
