Greetings!
Reading
This week we in fourth grade ELA, students will finish a novel titled Because of Winn-Dixie. We will be reading this novel throughout the next several weeks, taking comprehension quizzes (every five chapters) and discussing the book as we go. Students will not be allowed to take their books home, as there are not enough novels for every student to have one. However, there are several options if you would like you child to reread with you at night - getting a copy from the local library (or ordered in), purchasing a copy, or listening to the book on various YouTube videos where someone reads the chapters aloud.
Writing
This week, students in fourth grade ELA will be practicing restating the question in their answers.
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!
