In school, 4th graders typically face new challenges and expectations. For example, 4th graders are expected to have made the shift from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." ~Mike Anderson (Educational Leadership: Vol. 68, issue 7)

Homeroom Homework: Daybooks

Here is the schedule for Homeroom homework in the Daybooks this week. Students are responsible for the following pages in their Daybooks:

Monday: pp.84-the top half of 87. Students will underline new facts and respond to them with questions of comments.

Tuesday: pp. 87-88. Students will answer questions regarding the article on bats.

Wednesday: pp. 89-91. Students will underline important facts in a poem and answer
questions.

Thursday: p. 91. Students will synthesize information from the story and poem of the week, and also other stories we have read about animals, in the Daybook. The question asks about "maintaining balance" in the animal world. This is not about whether the animals can keep their balance, but refers to how the animal world works to maintain a balance between predator/prey, good/bad, or whatever the students can think of.
