-Math: Get ready for PARCC by practicing your skills at IXL. Take part 2 of the 4th grade PARCC math practice test in the links. -Career Project: Continue working on steps 5 and 6 on the green checklist.

-PARCC Testing begins Tuesday morning for 4th grade. This week, the class will be taking the three English Language Arts sections, and next week, they'll take the four math sections. We're planning to start testing at 8:30 each day. Please be present and on-time during these assessments, and each student will need to have his/her own headphones to use. Prepare to do your best by getting exercise, making healthy food choices, and getting enough sleep. There's no need to worry or stress about PARCC. If you relax, focus, and show what you know, you'll do just fine on these tests. -Career Project: Continue working on steps 3 and 4, and move on to step 5 on the green checklist. You should be setting up your interview soon.

Each student will be choosing a career that they are going to be studying. As part of the project, I’ve asked the students to arrange a visit and an interview with a local person who has the career that they choose. Please assist your son or daughter in contacting this person (perhaps you have a friend or a colleague who would work). The culminating activity of the project will be a posterboard presentation by each student teaching the class about the career that they've studied. The presentations will begin Monday, May 9 (or sooner if students finish early). Students have more information about the specifics of the project. Please contact me at school if you have any questions. Thanks
