IMPORTANT info in regards to Valentine’s Day, FEB 14TH. We have a change of plans. We are not having a big party (any longer). We are having some fun activities that will last from 1-1:30. I know I had asked for help and was planning a bigger event, BUT we are now having a smaller celebration and holding it with other 4th grade classes. Sorry, for any inconvenience.
Other Valentine’s information you need to know….Students can bring a Valentine’s Day card box/bag/holder to collect their Valentine’s cards in. They can make it any which way they would like. This is optional. IF YOU WOULD RATHER NOT make a V-day card holder-I will provide them with an large envelope to put them in. Valentine’s day cards need to be sugar/candy free. Also, they need to bring enough for every student in our class. We have 26 students.
BOOK REPORT CHANGES:
I ANNOUNCED THAT YOU SHOULD START READING YOUR BOOK FOR 3 QTR BOOK REPORT…..WELL, I want to change some guidelines. I want it to be non-fiction. I failed to realize that our Quest library doesn’t have a ton of non-fiction books that are appropriate for 4th graders. Mrs Anderson went to the Q2 library to hunt some down for us, but she came back with several war books, which I would rather not use. SO, our 3rd Qtr book reports will NOW be biography of U.S. Presidents. Which our school has several choices available. This will go great with what we have been learning about in ELA. Next Monday, Jan 29, we will go to the Q1 library and pick out some President books for you to read and report on. Also, these books only need to be between 90 and 120 pages. Homework:
Finish any assignments in your FrontRowED account. Don’t rush through them, just work at a comfortable pace. They are review assignments.
Get your user name and password setup for Bloxels. There are about 5 students that we are waiting on 😉
Read for 20 minutes. Any book you want this week. NEXT week we are going to the school library and checking out President library books. We will be using these President Biographies for our 3rd Book Report. After you finish your President Book Report book, you will need to get another to read each night.
Practice vocabulary words on Quizlet.
Some of you need to still learn your multiplication facts. Please, practice these. Use your REFLEX accounts to practice.
Do IXL for 10 minutes each night. Here is a list of the IXL sections to follow. REMEMBER you have to earn a 90% before you move on to the next category. All of the “A” column. Then, all “R”. Then, all “Q”. I just want you working on these for 10 minutes each night. If you get these all done, pick whichever sections you want to practice.
ReadWorks: You have two articles to read and answer questions.
