I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Lisa and I enjoyed seeing our families and decorating our home for the holidays. I hope all of the students are well rested and eager to return to school. This week we are diving right back into our studies.
The students are enjoying The Shakespeare Stealer. Remember every Tuesday night the students are assigned a small amount of reading to complete at home. It is very important they do this because they are quizzed on their reading on Wednesday. Those scores have a big impact on their overall reading score.
For grammar this week we will talk about irregular verbs and contractions using not. On Friday the students will complete a quiz on linking verbs, helping verbs, irregular verbs and contractions using not.
On Monday I will spend a good portion of our math period reviewing information in topic 8. My goal is to complete the topic and test on Friday. Please look over the practice and re-teaching sheets I am sending home so that we can identify any areas of concern before the test.
We will continue to discuss Earth’s features this week. I will most likely test on this topic Wednesday or Thursday. The students will have a study guide in their folders on Tuesday.
For conceptual on Friday Mrs. Lisa needs the following materials:
*ALL students need to bring a mug / teacup with their name on it for Friday.
4th grade: finger sandwiches - ham, cheese, turkey, cucumber (recipe for cucumber sandwiches: http:// teapartygirl.com/2011/04/ cucumber-tea-sandwiches-101/ but they do not have to be this fancy)
Thanks,
