Note from the author:
This was copied over from the DoDEA practice summative test for 4th grade on the website (May 2023) so students can take the test and have their works saved for review and self assessment/reflection. This is Unit 1 of 2 practice units. The standards have been added so help teachers identify areas of strength and challenge. The writing component needs to be manually scored. I will try to add the rubric at a later date. Only have the basic plan limits some features.
