Please see updated homework section below!
Reading
Students will begin the King in the Kitchen unit, which can be found on pages 444 - 462 of the Reading Street textbook. Students will learn about the differences between a drama (play) and normal story writing (prose). Students will practice character traits by gathering evidence (what a character says, what a character does, and how other characters react to them), as well as identifying the setting of the story.
Speaking & Listening
Students will begin preparing for their Demonstration Speeches, which we will perform next week. Students must choose 5 potential topics to perform, and then will be assigned ONE of them in class. Two students are not allowed to perform the SAME topic. Please read the letter above where students are to make their choice for more information! Other small assignments will be coming as we continue with our unit.
Students in fourth grade ELA are expected to read 1 hour a week in order to receive their Book-It awards. Students should read on multiple nights a week. Their assignment is broken down into 15-minute-per-night segments, 4 or 5 days a week; of course students may read more each night. Students wanting a reward MUST complete the entire form and return it on the day it is due.
Scholastic
For the students in my homeroom, my class code is TTBNT if you want to order books online. Thanks and have a great day!
Contacting Me
Feel free to contact me at the school with questions and concerns, and I will do my best to answer them, or direct you to the person better equipped to help you. During the school day, it's probably best to contact me via email (sabrandenburg@norwayne.net), or via the Remind app, but before and directly after school, I can also be reached via the school phone (330-435-6383 ext. 10412). If I do not answer your voicemail quickly, it is probably because I have been unable to access it for whatever reason. Please be understanding that technology is great, but it sometimes has its hiccups!
Hope you have a great week!
