We started reading Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing as our class novel study.  It will take us a while to read through this novel, but the students are enjoying the beginning of this book.  

Club permission slips are due tomorrow.

Story Test Today

Today we took our story comprehension and vocabulary test over The Hot and Cold Summer.  Students are allowed to use their book to locate the answers to the questions, and vocabulary sheets can be used on the test.  My goal is to help students become confident readers who know how to locate answers but can also apply and make inferences from their reading.  The test also contains a writing section that allows me to see students' growth while using complete sentences, punctuation, capital letters, and paragraphing strategies.

We have a spelling test on Friday.  We will be reviewing the words in class.  Part of your child's fourth grade homework will be to study and prepare for tests at home.

Hot and Cold Summer Homework

The Hot and Cold Summer

Today we enjoyed reading "The Hot and Cold Summer" together in class.  We discussed and practiced the vocabulary words from this story.  Student have been assigned to reread this story tonight as homework for Language Arts.  The story can be found on pages 27-41 in the hardcover Storytown book.  Each student received a blue sheet that requires a parent's signature verifying that the story was reread at home.  Tomorrow's story test will include the vocabulary words on the green sheet.  Students WILL be allowed to use their reading book AND the blue vocabulary sheet for assistance on tomorrow's story test.

Here is a link to the eBook version of the reading story, "The Hot and Cold Summer."
