You can use any of the strategies that we have practiced in class.
ELA/Reading: Finish reading your chapter book!
Science: Fortson class: Plant Experiment Reading Comprehension packet is due tomorrow. We had a good bit of time to work on this in class today and this is something that we read today together. Use complete sentences on the last three questions.

Week Updates for September 24-25th
Happy Friday! Here is what happened yesterday and some information about next week-a lot of info:
Math: Always check your child's agenda for daily homework assignments. Fortson Math Class- We will continue with 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. We are working on using open arrays and distributive property as a strategy. We will begin working on the standard algorithim as a strategy as well. We will continue with multiplication through next week- so there will be a unit assessment later next week. Please check back on the math page. I will try to provide some resources to help with assignments (for those of us who didn't learn the open array strategy when we were in elementary school :) ) Also, don't forget that students have an spiral notebook that we use for note taking!
ELA/Reading: We will have STATUS OF THE CLASS on Friday. At this point, students should have completed at least one book. Most students have completed several, but have not turned in their comprehension sheets. This one book will count as a grade for this nine weeks. A great way to earn an easy grade!!
SS Weekly week 8- We used this for our reading this week. Most students finished the open note quiz with text evidence in class. If they needed more time, I encouraged them to take it home on Thursday night. It is due completed in class today.
Science: We started our new unit in both classes this week. Students received a Ecosystem packet that is due on Tuesday of next week. They are able to use their textbook if needed. They will have Friday and Tuesdayt morning during morning work time to work on this as well.
Social Studies: Fakebook pages are due on Friday. Students have had 3 weeks to complete this project. They also received class time in both Mrs. Derry's class as well as in our class (when they completed other work). There is a unit test today over explorers. This will be an open book test, so students need to have their textbook, interactive notebook and any SS Weekly newspapers to use.

Homework Updates for September 23rd
Here is what is happening today:
Math: Please check your child's agenda. Fortson math class was given a packet that we started in class. This packet is not due until Friday. There will be some class time to work on this tomorrow as well. I am putting together more information on the Math Page. Hopefully, this will be a resource that you can use. There are several links already on there, so check it out!
ELA/Reading: I am doing a reading check this week. If your child has not completed one chapter book, then I will be asking them to spend time in class doing so on Friday. Please check in with your child and make sure they are reading nightly. Once they finish a book, they will complete a comprehension sheet and you need to sign the log.
No other homework assigned tonight.
Science: Derry's class came to science today. We took some notes in our interactive notebook. There was no homework assigned tonight.
Social Studies: Fakebook pages are due on Friday. There is a test on Friday. There was a study guide given for students to study from this week.

Whew! Back to normal today! Here is what is happening:
Math: please check your child's agenda for math assignments. Fortson math class does not have any new homework assignments. You can check the math page to see what concepts we are working on.
ELA/Reading: We will not be starting a new unit this week. I have decided to work through SS Weekly to help reinforce our Social Studies standards as well as reading strategies. Students are working through an assignment in class. If they do not finish it by Thursday, then it is possible that it will become homework.
If your student has not finished a chapter book, I will be assigning Friday study hall to help him/her finish it before the end of the nine weeks. Most of the students have finish at least one and most are working toward our challenge (which is five books this nine weeks). I think it is reasonable to require students to finish at least one chapter book on their level in a nine week period. Thank you for your support!
Science: We have started our new unit, Interdependence (Ecosystem). I put some resources on the blog page for Science and you can also use the Science textbook. Students are taking notes in the interactive notebook and this should have all the required content.
Social Studies: They will be finishing explorers. Please note that the Fakebook pages are due on Friday. They also have a major unit test over this material. Please refer to the interactive notebook for content to study. The textbook is a great resource as well.
Tuesday folders went home today! Please check this folder for important information.

Weekly Updates for September 8th
Woohoo! for a 4 day week! I hope that you and your family enjoyed your long weekend together. Here are a few things to note for this week:
ELA/Reading: We will start our new story: The Horned Toad Prince. Students have a story packet and we will be working on this in class. Students need to keep up with this and participate in class. It is an easy grade as we do this together. They need to remember to turn it in on Friday for full credit.
Vocabulary/Spelling patterns: This week, we will NOT have new vocabulary and spelling. Instead, I have decided to spiral our last three weeks. This Friday we will assess these words and spelling patterns. You can visit the ELA/Reading page on the right side of the page. There you will find each weekly list. (Just in case you need another copy!)
Writing: We are still working on the writing process, RUPR, UNRAVEL and how to cite text evidence. This is a very important skill. We are using theme related questions to work on this type of writing. Some students are also writing realistic fiction and others are practicing analytical writing using informational passages.
Math: Please review your child's agenda for math assignments. Fortson math class will begin a new topic this week: Multiplication. Our fourth graders really need good practice with multiplication facts. Please allow students to practice these online or with flash cards. This is a foundational skill and we need them to master to be successful in our next concepts.
Science: Please visit the Science page. I am in the process of uploading additional information. There are links and pictures that will help students study for our cell unit assessment. This week, we will continue to learn about plant and animal cells. Next week, we will have a lab day to investigate each type of cell. Please note that our class assessment is tentatively planned for September 15th. I will be giving them a study guide this week.

ELA/Reading: Vocabulary and Spelling words will be assessed on Friday. Please remember that any vocab or spelling words could be included on any assessment. I have uploaded the lists from the previous weeks under the ELA/Reading page to the right.
Reading Challenge update: Please make sure to ask your child if he/she has completed an activity sheet for a finished book. You will need to initial the reading log (which I have and can give to him when he finishes a book) agreeing that you observed your child reading the listed book.
Science: We have just started our new unit on Cells. I have included a couple of great links under the science page and will continue to add to this page any great resources that I find. Once I give out the study guide, there will be a copy of that also for you to have.
