Today we took our story comprehension and vocabulary test over The Hot and Cold Summer. Students are allowed to use their book to locate the answers to the questions, and vocabulary sheets can be used on the test. My goal is to help students become confident readers who know how to locate answers but can also apply and make inferences from their reading. The test also contains a writing section that allows me to see students' growth while using complete sentences, punctuation, capital letters, and paragraphing strategies.
We have a spelling test on Friday. We will be reviewing the words in class. Part of your child's fourth grade homework will be to study and prepare for tests at home.
We are continuing to work on the skill of identifying character traits.
I am looking forward to seeing many of you on Thursday evening for Expectation Night at 5:30.
