Hi 4P Families! I hope that you are all enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend! It’s show time this week for ELA (English Language Arts) and we are READY! We will begin ELA PSSA testing on Tuesday. 4th grade will be having some special PSSA spirit days beginning Tuesday. Please see the schedule below.

There are a few students who still need to turn in the food permission form that was sent home last Wednesday. Please return these tomorrow!

Speaking of ELA, your child will be bringing home their most recent text dependent analysis essay tomorrow! These five paragraph essays were OUTSTANDING! I’m simply amazed at how these 4th graders can take a high level writing assignment and just knock it out of the park! I couldn’t be more proud of them! WE ARE WRITERS!

I need your help! Please encourage your child to bring in some picture books, chapter books, light reading that can be done after we conclude PSSA testing each day. ONLY your child will be using the books.

There is no spelling this week!
