The Great Kapok Tree & AIR Practice

Greetings!

Reading 
This week we in fourth grade ELA, students will finish the passage from the Reading Street textbooks titled The Great Kapok Tree, which can be found on pages 364-377. We will be practicing theme (the message or lesson of the story) as well as reviewing cause and effect (what causes another event to happen) before we take our final assessment over the story on Tuesday. Students may use the following jeopardy link to study for the test: jeopardylabs.com/play/the-great-kapok-tree10.

Writing 
This week, students in fourth grade ELA will be practicing for their AIR essay.

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. This is the last month for Book-It 

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!
