Tuesday! (fake Monday!

Hi sweet parents!  First, I am SO sorry I am late on today's blog post! My daughter has been sick all weekend, so the husband took off today until I got home and then he went to work...so I just haven't sat down to type it out yet!! {I'm quickly learning that every holiday weekend = my baby is sick! ha!}

FYI of the week:

Picture Day is WEDNESDAY

Literacy Letter Journals - students will now write the letters to ME in the journal...letter format, just like the example and due EVERY Friday
Daily Reading - 4th grade students are required to read 100 per week.  However, I am aware that LIFE HAPPENS and some days you don't have 20 minutes, and some days you have 45 minutes.  SO, I've made it clear to students that they need to read either 20 minutes daily OR get their 100 minutes in. Thank you for realizing this true fact and helping your child become task solvers and helping them get into a routine to get this done!

Objectives of the Week: (most of these will stay the same, so I am posting them here)

Math: I can round multi-digit numbers to any place.  (we started with tens today)

Literacy: I can determine key details in a text to help determine the main idea of an informational text.
I can build stamina in my writing.  I can create a personal narrative about a true event in my life.
I can read with accuracy and good phrasing.

Science: I can explain an ecosystem and determine a food chain and harmful/beneficial changes to the ecosystem.

Social Studies: I can determine latitude and longitude.

*Things to ask your child about today (again, I realize I am late...SORRY!) - 

Which ecosystem did you research today?  Who was your partner?

What did you read in literacy today? What was Walter beginning to dream about?

From your fluency poem, do you remember what photosynthesis means?

HW:

read 20 minutes ~

complete "show me" paper for a parent in math

**Feedback:

I would LOVE your feedback for the blog....

Would you like to see more conversation questions you can ask your child to get him/her to talk more about the day?

Would you like to just see homework/activities?

Would you like to see daily learning objectives?

THANK YOU! :)
