FCAT Writing Cadence
Writers, fall out! (sings marching song)
I sure know what you’ve been told (writers echo)
Remember this when you get old
FCAT is time to impress
Fourth grade writers are the BEST!
Read that prompt that’s in your hand
Think and then begin your plan
When you’re writing narrative
Describe just where your setting is
Engage your reader from the start
Give your characters a heart
Add a little dialogue
Quotation marks will do the job.
Expository can be cool
Describe, explain and don’t be fooled
Engage your reader and Think 3
Transitions, details, similes
Don’t forget to add a wish
It’s a great way to finish.
You all know what you’ve been told
Remember this when you get old
FCAT is time to impress
Fourth grade writers are the BEST!
Sound off (one, two) Sound off (three, four)
Sound off --three, four—one, two—three, four!

Crazy Hair Day + Lunch in the Amphitheater = FUN
Students in Mrs. Donnelly and Mrs. Jenkins' class showed their spirit with some CRAZY hair today. Friday is usually lunch in the classroom day for students who earn A's in behavior, but due to the warm weather...lunch was moved outside. Fun times on Friday!

Laptop Time
All Beauclerc Elementary students have the privilege of using laptop computers. They use the computer to take state and county tests, to practice reading and math skills and to become an expert in technology. Students also have access to most of these websites at home or at the public library.
Student of the Week
Can you guess one of Calen's favorite hobbies? Ask our student-of-the-week what he likes to do in his free time.
We Love Beginning New Books!
Fourth graders began a new class novel today. It is The Gold-Threaded Dress by Carolyn Marsden. Mrs. Jenkins is curious to see who figures out the genre of the book first and who learns from the author's message.
