Playing "Catch Up" from Cold Day!

Today we had to play "catch up" a bit for our Cold Day.  We did some spelling review searches and then took our test.  Next week we will be on Unit 21.  The words are on the back of your child's newsletter.

We will plan for a Chapter 5 Social Studies test on THURSDAY.  Study guides/practice papers will be sent home next week.   Today we read Lesson 4 in Chapter 5 of Social Studies.  

In the computer lab today we worked on some social studies states and capitals matching games. We also looked at examples of the PARCC test that we will be taking at the end of March.  You can find PARCC examples and games under the Nelson Ridge Essential Links.  This test will be very important and challenging for our students.  Here are 4th grade LANGUAGE ARTS PARCC GAMES:

Here is a sample PARCC test for 4th Grade:

We watched several of the examples of different types of narrative literature listed below, and we used our chart to identify what kind of story each example represents.  We have many copies of these stories in class for students to read, and we read several examples aloud together.
