How to use a Dictionary

We've been learning a lot of new words and improving our vocabulary. When we don't know a word, we are practicing new skills by looking up the word in the dictionary and using it in a sentence! This helps all students, whether they are English Language Learners or not.

Please watch the following videos if you need help with putting words in alphabetic order and finding them in the dictionary!

There is also a more in-depth discussion around using a dictionary here with pictures!

More videos will be added on Google Classroom in the following days to help you understand if you are not at school this week. 

Google Classroom

Just a reminder to continue logging into Google Classroom.

I have posted a few Quizizz assignments on there - you can retry the quizzes multiple times (some I have allowed you to redo 2 or 3 times) and submit the highest one when you are happy with it! Please ensure you are getting yourself signed up and connecting through your Google account, otherwise, it won't link your results to my class!

I will be starting to post some videos for you to watch to introduce you to our upcoming science unit on Lights and Sound. We will be working with Ms. Soltes on this unit to develop our understanding of sound through music. Please remember to check into your Google Classroom on a regular basis to see what has been posted for you in both her classroom and mine!

Google Classroom

Good afternoon parents and students:

We got started on Google Classroom. I will send students email and login home if they have already returned the signed permission form.

To get started Students will go search: Google and login to their account:

They will then enter their email studentnumber@sunwayeducation.info (example: 00000000@sunwayeducation.info) and press next:

The next page will ask them for their password. It is case sensitive (passwords were created from their Prodigy logins). 

They will then need to click on the little grid on the top right of the screen

And click on the Google Classroom Icon:

Once they have done that, they will click onto Grade 4 to find our Google Classroom. I will be posting assignments on here for them to work through. Their first assignments are to work through some Quizizz quizzes I have added for review! They will need a parents email to connect to as well :)

Once you are done that, you can now attach your Prodigy account to your Google account. Instructions are found here: https://prodigygame.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003950826-Sign-in-with-Google-with-an-existing-Prodigy-student-account-

Xtra Math Masters

Congratulations to our first person to pass addition: Sophia!

This morning Gianna also joined her and passed addition! Keep on practicing! Good job girls!

Words Their Way

We started Words Their Way this morning.

Students began by learning about the different patterns in their words. We wrote the headings on the top of our page and then sorted the words into their appropriate headings based on different sounds or consonant-vowel patterns.

If you are at home, you can sort the words by writing them on a sheet of paper and sorting them into the right categories. You will need me to check and ensure they are in the right spot before you highlight the word patterns so please skip this step.

You can work on writing each of your words into a sentence. If you do not know what a word means, please look it up.

• For example if your word is "sorry" you could write a sentence that said: I am sorry that I ate all your pizza!
• If your word is "magic" you could write a sentence that said: I went to the magic show last night.

Please check the words their way tab for more instructions and also your word list. I have sent home a message that includes each students' word list. You will not need anything printed for this, but just access to a computer or tablet to see the words and the instructions.
