Thanksgiving Week

Greetings!

Please see updated homework section below! 

Reading & Writing  
Students will finish the mini- copy change poetry unit we began last week. They will finish typing and create illustrations to go with the poems they wrote. We will publish these books through Studentreasures in early December, and they will be shipped in mid-January.

Students will also write an on-demand prompt so that I may gauge their ability to write an opinion essay.

Students may bring a snack for a small Young Authors' publishing celebration on Wednesday in class.

Book -It 
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!
