Jerusalem workshop dates suggested by Sandy are good for me. As far as the tests are concerned, I suggest giving one old Meitzav test as a mipui at the beginning of the year and then use various tasks of Meitzavim for intensive preparation work. I would vote for the test of תשע"ג as a mock exam for the 5th grade. Last year's test was obnoxious.However, I would use it for practicing HOT questions. In my school every teacher could photocopy not more than 400 pages a month last year. Just enough to copy the Meitzav exam for 1 class. I think the principals of the Meitzav schools should give special conditions for photocopying to English teachers.
