Also, please make sure to apply sunscreen and bug spray at home. We are not permitted to apply it at school.

What's Happening in Class this Week?
What can you do at home?
Encourage your child to use their close reading strategies on their EOG Practice Passages. It is proven that the more they interact with the text, they better they will do. This past week we took a practice EOG in class. Students will get their scores this week. We will look at areas where each student needs to improve and use these next few weeks to target areas of weakness. Once again, we want your child to feel confident and comfortable as we approach EOG testing. They have worked so hard this year. Now we are working to provide them all the strategies we can so that they can do their best!
Reading - Our historical fiction novel study continues this week. Focus lessons will be on characterization, point-of-view, and plot.
Writing -- Students will write short responses to text to review making inferences, character and setting, as well as point of view.
Language - We will review order of adjectives and all grammar objectives.
Spelling - word sorts
EOG Review
I've also included a great article on "Close Reading" if you're interested! See below.
To take the practice test, here are the directions:
- When you log in to the portal, you will need to Select "GUEST"
- Grade Level 4
- ELA or MATH
- Don't worry about changing any other options -- it's way too confusing
- Then, When it says "Is this you?" Select "Yes" or Begin Test
It will take over 2 hours to finish the test. If you do not have 2 hours, it will not be scored.
Another great website is NEWSELA. It has great news articles with test questions aligned with common core state standards. Check it out!
Last Free-bee of the week is IXL.com. If you haven't checked it out - please do. It's a great resource for both math and grammar!
