The First Week of September...Summer Really Seems to be Over...
Ta Da! Here we are in the first week of September...
We've made some significant changes in our classroom. We will be working in small groups for Language Arts and Math. Mrs. Willis will work with one group while I work with the other. This will allow us to best meet the students' academic needs. Both groups will be covering all of the required concepts from the 4th grade curriculum - we will just cover these concepts differently - according to learning styles, academic, remedial, and enrichment needs, and learning pace. So - the homework lists will be different for each child. Mrs. Willis will make a homework list for the students in her language arts and math groups. You can access these assignments on her blog page. I will list the assignments for my language arts and math groups AS WELL AS THE WHOLE CLASS ASSIGNMENTS FOR SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES. Please contact me if you have any questions about these changes in our classroom.
That said, here is a list of the homework for the week. It most likely will change - so check your child's assignment book for the most up to date list.
Tues. Miss Press language arts: vocab book pgs. 21-22; study words and definitions
Miss Press math: page 1.5 and review page
Wed. Miss Press language arts: vocab book pg.23; study words and definitions
Miss Press math: review page and study for math test
Thurs. Miss Press language arts: Choose 6 of the vocabulary words, write a sentence for each of the words that you have chosen. STUDY WORDS AND DEFINITIONS
IMPORTANT INFO: TEST DAYS
Thursday - Math chapter 1 test
Friday - spelling/vocabulary unit 2 test
