Scholastic Book orders are due March 11.
PARCC TESTING:
Yesterday we took a practice PARCC test in the computer lab as a class. We went through directions and completed the assessment together so that students would know what to expect in language arts for the week of March 23 to 27. IF STUDENTS PRACTICE THE PARCC TEST ON THE COMPUTER AT HOME, I HAVE PROMISED THEM A TRIP TO THE "PRIZE BOX" IF THEY BRING IN A SIGNED NOT VERIFYING THAT THEY DID TRY THE TEST AT HOME.
PARCC PRACTICE TEST
Students WILL need headphones for our March PARCC test, the week of March 23. You can look at 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:

Figurative language has been difficult for our class. We worked on learning different types of figurative language all week. Figurative language includes similes, metaphors, personification, onomatopoeia, alliteration, and idioms. See the link below for examples of each.

EXTRA CREDIT:
Students are welcome to research and create a dog breed poster or report to present or display in the classroom. We've already seen some exciting samples on display. It is fantastic to see the students motivated and asking to do research on this topic. Students who are interested in a specific topic are always welcome to ask for assistance or materials in getting a research project started.
Here's my favorite sites to use for this research:
