Good afternoon parents,
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!
Next week in…
Reading: We
will be discussing the text structure of non-fiction texts. We will read
several examples of description, cause and effect, problem and solution,
sequence, and compare and contrast texts. Students will be assessed on Friday.
Word
Work: Our discussion on prepositions and
prepositional phrases will continue. Students will be assessed on prepositional
phrases on THURSDAY. The lesson 9 vocabulary quiz is on Friday. There is a copy
of the words on my blog.
Writing: The
students will continue to work on their opinion writing pieces.
Homework:
Students should continue to read for 20 minutes each night. Remember, students should read for a
total of 2 hours each week. However, the 2 hours MUST be spread out over at
least 3 days. Students should not read for 2 hours in 1 day. They
should also be studying for our grammar skill for the week (prepositions) as
well as for our vocabulary quiz. Please continue to encourage your child to
work on their book reports for the 25 book challenge.
Reminders:
- Please
join us for Breakfast with Santa this Saturday! I will be there and I hope
to see you there too!
- Monday
is the Penguin Patch. Please make sure all students have their money this
day as there will be no other time to make purchases.
- For
our holiday party, I like to do a book exchange with students. Please
purchase a 4th grade appropriate book for our book exchange.
Boys will exchange books with boys, and girls will exchange books with
girls. Please send in a wrapped book by Monday, December 16th.
