Any 5th Grade SS teachers out there?

I want to get my kids ready for their exam next year on NY (State exam)

I teach whats on it but I was wondering if anyone had any of the state 'words to know' just to get them ready?

Thanks!

I teach 5th grade- all subjects so Im all checked out on preparing the kids for the SS State test. Theres a lot to know but seems like there's always a lot on culture, democracy, government. I will get back to you with more cause I cant think right now! They def. need to know how to read and answer ?'s on a timeline, charts etc...
Also- definitely do LOTS of Document based essays for part 2!

Yup i have all the state exams thats allll we've been doing the entire year for tests!

But i heard there is a 'master list' of state words for the SS (I found it for the science) and cant find it!
lol

thanks hun

seems like this is probably not what you want either but once you click on each of the key ideas this gives some good activities, resources, etc. .



don't know about a master word list. . I'll see what I can find. . I do know that sometimes the lower ability kids struggle with the verbs and other words that are in questions (that we sometimes don't teach like they will know content but get lost on words like significant, describe, detail, analyze, etc. so if you have tests and scan the questions to see if anything like that comes up. . social studies 5th grade
