We have gotten approval for our first field tip of the year!
We will be participating in the "Get Schooled by Skates" Chicago Wolves field tip program. We will be going to see the Chicago Wolves play on Tuesday, December 18. Students will get a workbook with questions and trivia for a variety of subjects. They will work on this while also watching the game! Forms will be coming home in the next week or two. Keep a look out for this form and the chaperone information!

Our reading curriculum sends home homework each day. Many of the days ask students to read 20 minutes, then answer a question from their "Homework Prompts" bookmark. I wanted to publish those prompts here in case students misplace or forget those bookmarks.
1. What is the theme or main idea of the text? What are some key details that support the main idea? 2. What do the illustrations tell you? How do they help you understand the words? 3. What questions do you have now after reading? What would you like to learn more about? Why? 4. What are the most important facts you learned from reading? 5. What is the most interesting fact you learned today? 6. How does what you read today connect with what you've learned in other lessons? 7. Describe in depth a character with evidence from the text. 8. Describe in depth a setting with evidence from the text. 9. Describe in depth one event with evidence from the text. 10. Choose one new word from your reading today and analyze it. Encourage students to read different types of texts, and to choose a variety of questions! With a new ELA/Reading curriculum, as well as a new procedure for Guided Math groups, our 4th grade homework policy is changing. Students will now be receiving Reading homework daily (starting next Monday) and will only receive math homework periodically. This change reflects our new reading curriculum, which incorporates daily homework into lessons.
Additionally, students will complete their math "homework" pages during our Guided Math stations, allowing them to work together and get help from teachers. However, if a student receives an Area of Concern (C) grade on a Lesson Check for math, they will bring home a homework page that reviews the concept on which they struggled. Completion of that homework will allow the student to re-take the lesson check to improve their grade. Please do not hesitate to contact me via Remind or email if you have questions. Thank you! |
