I gave out Missing Assignments sheets today. I was very pleased that there were a small number of missing grades! Missing work does need to be turned in tomorrow. If your child has a missing test, I plan on giving those tomorrow as well so please have him or her study and be prepared to take it. The Perfect Pet writing assignment can be accessed at home on Study Island, the Build-a-Story cannot. Students are working on those in Computer Lab and should have them finished by Wednesday.
All students also have a packet to finish that they started on Friday and continued today on using Encyclopedias, a table of contents, and an encyclopedia index. They do not need any other resources to finish the packet, it is all there for them. We will be checking it in class tomorrow.
Students received a green letter addressed to you from Dr. Sroufe. Please sign and return. Let us know if you have any questions.
Throughout the week, we will be working on nonfiction text structures and following directions. Look for activity sheets to come home to be finished that we begin in class.
Again, Study Island and Quizlet are great study resources at home! I will add a nonfiction practice session on Study Island for your children to access.
Students will be working on a new extra credit packet this week in reading remediation. Again, if they choose to finish it, following the testing strategy steps of highlighting key words in each question, highlighting evidence in the passage, and eliminating the two answers that make the least sense, they will earn extra credit.
Fourth Grade Math Map Testing will be Friday, April 17 and Reading will be Monday, April 20.
Make up Spring Picture Day is this Thursday, April 16, for students who were absent on the day pictures were taken.
The Fifth Six Weeks STAR Activity will be next Friday and the students are very excited about it. Look for a permission slip to come home this week for "Breakin' the Rules Day"!
