It's a Mystery! Over the next couple of weeks, we will be reading mystery stories in the classroom. We will look at the unique elements of a mystery and use our background knowledge to make inferences and predict the solution to the mystery. Inferences are a difficult concept for our 4th graders. You can help at home by having your child solve riddles, watching mystery shows on T.V., or playing board games such as Clue or Headbands. PSSA Week...coming Soon! What Parents Can Do to Help!
