Dear 4th Grade Parents and Students:
This week we have two big state assessments. The students will be taking their AIR Social Studies test on Monday March 9th. Wednesday March 11th, the students will be taking the Math PARCC test.
Our Language Arts PARCC test has been rescheduled for March 18th.
Until then, we will be working on our Book Reviews in class! The students studied what makes a strong review. We also talked about how important it is to be able to not only write a strong review but be able to analyze and evaluate other reviews to assess their validity. The students talked about how reviews are all over the place in their lives.
We will be writing our reviews in class this week. We also will be making book commercials! You can see previews of commercials from previous years here!
On Friday, we have a reading log due. Reading logs will look a bit different 4th quarter! We will be "blogging" about our reading! More to come on that later!
The students will take Unit 10 Flocabulary test on Friday. The video for this unit can be found here. They were all given their flocabulary practice packets on Friday. They are to be completed by THURSDAY. Students can practice their words here!
Finally- Book Tweets are due on March 16th! The students have been doing a fantastic job! I am so impressed with their hard work and how great they turning out as the students revise and work to make them persuasive, letting their "voice" shine through. Remember, they need to be approved first using the yellow book tweet paper. Click here for the rough draft approval sheet. Then, once approved, they can be revised with suggestions from our conference, and written on final copy book tweet paper. Click here to get the final draft paper.
