As we have no school on Thursday & Friday, please use this time to catch up on any overdue work. If you are all caught up after today's tasks you can be a Pickle and pick anything from the bottom of this post!
LANGUAGE (1 hr):
1. Complete day 5 of reading comprehension - Reading Comprehension is posted on Google Classroom.
2. Read for at least 20 minutes via Raz Kids, Epic, or your choice of book - I would suggest you check out some of the parts of speech books in this collection (click here). Some students really struggled with picking out nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. in our Gimkit today!
3. New Words Their Way posted on Monday. Wednesday's task is to write sentences with the second half of their words! Need help using the slides I posted? Click this video! https://youtu.be/kvFSFLvM4AM
SOCIAL STUDIES (1 hr) (Online): (I only had 2 students complete this so I am assigning again)
1. Read global stories on Epic!. There are 32 stories shared on Epic! For you. you can choose a few to read that interest you.
2. After reading you can answer the following questions on the Flipgrid:
Did you know that more than 7 billion people share this planet with us?
What did you notice that was similar to your life? What did you notice that was different?
(If tech limitations make Flipgrid an issue, these questions can be written down and scanned or emailed directly to me).
MATH (1 hr):
Some students are needing to finish up our addition and subtraction unit. Please ensure you have done so by Monday so you are ready to move on.
Catch-up & Finishing up our Addition and Subtraction unit:
1. Keep working on Topic 3 & 4 of your math booklets - Booklet posted on Google Classroom & the slides/video lessons for these are found here: Addition & Subtraction Slides - Due May 11th. Please remember to click “turn in” when you have finished the entire booklet. A reminder: the games/printables are optional extra support.
2. Quizizz Math Addition & Subtraction checkup: posted on Google Classroom for you. You have 2 chances to go through the 10 questions. Don't cheat! Must be finished by May 11th.
3. Practice for at least 20 minutes on Prodigy: I set up a pre-assessment for you to complete. 11 of you are finished. If you aren't sure... send me a Google Hangout message. Please make sure you complete this on your own as I need to know what you know and how I can help you get better!
For those that are done all of the previous work as well as recommended completion over the weekend:
1. Practice one round on XtraMath - 11 students are so close to passing levels - one student is almost done XtraMath completely! Once you have beat division you have shown mastery of your math facts - and you don't need to practice anymore.
2. There are 2 great books on Epic! That can be read at your leisure over the next 5 days until we are back on Monday.
-Time - A nice summary of what you have learned in grade ⅔ - Click here
- Measuring Time with a Clock - This one gets more into some of the concepts that are covered in grade 4 and is a nice introduction to what learning we will be doing - Click here
I would also love if you could make yourself a paper plate clock over the weekend. You can choose what kind you want to make if you have the supplies at home. Here are the instructions from the book:
Or check out the following videos for a few options:
Maranelo's clock! Perfect example:

FLIPGRID (15 mins - Online Task):
Did you check out the shared Flipgrid between 4A/B yesterday? The shared Flipgrid can be accessed by clicking here.
Yesterday you had a “Would You Rather…?!” prompt to choose from. If you did not finish this, please do it over the next few days.
When you are done I would like you to reply to 3 of the other grade 4’s - either from our class or Mrs. Taylor’s!
Need some ideas? Say hey, start a healthy debate about which is better, or agree if you also think the same and would choose the same thing!
SCIENCE (1 hr) (Catch-up for those not done):
- Please make sure you have read the books posted last week on Omnivore, Herbivore, Carnivore, as well as Producer and Consumer. You need to understand these terms to be able to move through the next part.
- Please read page 3 entitled “Living Things and Energy” (labelled page 15 in the pdf) and complete page 4 “How Do We Get Energy? Reading Response” (labelled page 16) of your science booklet, which is posted on Google Classroom - do not turn this in yet! If the text is too difficult for you, I posted a video on Monday's lesson - look below!
