Wow! It is now February and six more weeks of winter! YUCK!
Today in Language Arts we started our new story. It is called The Blind Hunter. We will continue to practice the comprehension skill of Drawing Conclusions while reading this story. Please ask your child questions about the story and the characters as you read the story together. This will help with their comprehension. In Spelling, we will work on word families and the study of plural patterns. This is a difficult skill this week so be sure to study a little every night. In Grammar, we will study subject and object pronouns. Once again this is a new concept for 4th graders so we will work extra hard this week.
Homework:
***Fluency and Flow -due Friday
***All assessments will be given Friday
***Spelling Words in cursive- due Friday- This is a new assignment that will be due each week. It is an excellent way to practice our spelling words before they are asked to write them correctly on a test.
***Our Reading project is due in a little over a month. Please be sure to work on it soon. This project should take a lot of effort and time.
***Reading minutes for the month of January will be checked sometime this week. Minutes should be recorded and signed each night on the calendar in their planners. I would like parent initals each night. Thanks:o)

In Math we completed our minute, worked on computation, reviewed number-and- word notation, standard notation, and exponential notation. Tomorrow we will work on a practice test together in class. Our Unit 7 test will be on Wednesday, February 4th. Going over the Practice test is an excellent study guide for the test itself.
Homework:
***Study Link 7.9

During our Content rotation, we stayed in our homeroom groups to share Science Fair projects. I was so amazed with all our volunteers and their detailed presentations. I think I learned a thing or two! The remaining students will present tomorrow.
Reminders:
***Our Social Studies class will have a short quiz over Chapter 5 -Lesson 1 on Wednesday. Using their Study Guide handout is an excellent way to study.
***Our Science Expo is on Wednesday of this week from 3:00-5:00. Please make arrangements to come to the Expo between those hours. You will need to pick up projects and take them home at that time.
Until tomorrow...
