Happy Saint Patrick's Day!  This week we will be reviewing for the PSSA tests.  The students will receive a new paper with PSSA terms on it.  They need to study these.  They will have a test on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.  Have a great week!

Week of 3/10/14

The students took two tests on figurative language. One was the terms and the other was applying the skills.  We are working on PSSA terms and skills.  The students will have a review of comprehension skills from the third unit.  They are drawing conclusions, compare/contrast, theme and author's styles.  They will have a test on these skills on Friday, March 14th.  Have a great week!

Week of 3/3/14

This week we will be working on figurative language skills.  They are metaphor, simile, personification, idiom, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole.  The students will  have 2 tests on figurative language on Monday, March 10th.  On the first test, they will have to identify which figurative language it is.  On the second test they will have to match the term to its definition.  This is an easy 100 if they study the terms and definitions.  I am giving a retest of the prefix and suffix test on Thursday, March 6th.  This is for any student that did not get a 100 on the first test.
Have a great week!
