Class activities for Monday, November 23
Spelling: None today.
Cursive: No cursive assignment this week.
Reading: None today due to Eagle Talk and art.
Writing: We talked about the correct way to punctuate dialogue:
- “Use quotation marks,” said Mr. Howd.
- “And don’t forget the comma before the speaker tag,” he added.
Today was the last revising day for this piece. Your student should be nearly done with adding new details, taking out parts that don’t match, or with changing words or ideas. A fiction story will be due Monday, November 30.
Math: We practiced rounding today. Students used Khan Academy to practice math skills.
Here are some skills we’ve been working on lately:
Homework is to practice MobyMax Math or Khan Academy for at least 15 minutes.
Science: We reviewed our last experiment and learned about open and closed circuits. Closed circuits are connected together, so electricity can flow. Open circuits have an opening, or gap, that stops electricity from flowing.
Social Studies: We started working on Market Day today. We are creating a Market Day website to showcase products. The class also formed advertising agencies that will write advertisements, take pictures, and design the website. The other fourth grade classes are making products and will hire our class to advertise their products.
