Today we worked on practicing and learning our Unit 1 spelling words. These words have short vowel sounds. We completed Spelling workbook pages 3 & 4 together in class. They are in your child's binder to review at home for our test on Friday. Here's a link to this year's word list:

We also have been learning about Nonfiction Text Features, and we are using old World Almanacs for Kids to search for examples of illustrations, bullets, text styles, charts and graphs. Since the World Almanacs are outdated versions that the library is weeding out, students were allowed to keep the almanacs for fun reading.
Our skill this week is learning about "Character Traits." Tomorrow we will be introduced to the characters in The Hot and Cold Summer.
Here's a link to the reading book stories online:

We are also reviewing complete and incomplete sentences. There are lots of great grammar games for you to play at home at this web site:

I'm looking forward to seeing you on Thursday for Expectation Night. Fourth Grade Expectation Night begins at 5:30 in the gym.
