This week we will continue our historical fiction unit reading A Lion to Guard Us. We are focusing on genre and the elements of fiction text which include character, setting, plot, perspective, mood and theme. As have only a few weeks left before we take the 4th grade MCAs so we will also be spending some of our time practicing test taking skills and strategies that students will be able to transfer to the MCAs. 

Homework is due, Friday, April 18th.
