Dear Parents and Students,
This is just a reminder that all third and fourth grade students will be taking the NYS ELA Exam this Tuesday. I am sending you a link to view the 2015 NYS ELA Exam sample questions and sample responses that all students should review thoroughly in order to prepare. Please examine the short responses and especially the extended responses since they are the most difficult.
Fourth graders should click on this link, scroll down to p. 18. Begin with story "Building the Longest, Tallest, Fastest Scream Machines" and continue to the end of exam.
