Good Afternoon!
This week in...
Reading: We are starting our 4th grade novel: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. One of Mrs. Carbone and Miss Winter's favorite books- ever! There will not be a lot of homework- maybe finishing a question from their packets once in a while. The will have 3 vocab quizzes over these words (and they are challenging!) so make sure they are being studied at home. The novel will be read in class and we are really hoping that the children will not get a copy of the book to read ahead at home. Most of them have not read the story and it is such a great story full of suspense that we want them to be surprised and excited together! Also if they read ahead they will not practice the skill of predicting that we will do in class because they will know what happens! I am sure they will want you all to read the book s well when we are done :)
Spelling: Lesson 30- Review Lesson
Religion: Family Life Unit. We will be discussing why rules are important, how to be healthy, why to get a goods night sleep, and how to handle emotions.
4th LA: The students are working on a SURPRISE poem- if they need help maybe Dads can help them ;) but they shouldn't have a lot of questions
5th LA: Adverb posters and starting prepositions
4th SS: We are starting our West Tour. The students can start to bring in a 1 inch binder of their choice to organize all of their letters from all of our tours in. The binder can be any color and 1 inch is the perfect size to fit everything and it does not take up much space.
5th SS: We will almost finish Chapter 11 this week. We will have a QUEST sometime next week. The blue study guide explains everything they should know.
