Click on the following link to find out more about the PARCC assessment we will be taking in the spring. You can take practice tests in both math and reading. A lot of what we will be working on this year will be to prepare the students to take the PARCC Assessment. The PARCC Assessment is much more rigorous than MSA, as you can tell if taking a practice test. For this reason, along with the Common Core Standards, the instruction in class and expectations for homework may seem more rigorous. 4th Grade brings a lot of changes in instruction because we really start getting away from the basic who, what, where, when questions and focus on supporting answers with evidence from the text. The students haven't had a lot of practice with this, but they will, so please be patient if you see them struggling on some assignments.
