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)

Homework 2/8-2/11

Daybook Assignments
Monday: pp. 94-97 We are working on sensory images-words that help us make a picture by triggering sensory details (sight, sound, smell, taste & touch). Sensory images help readers visualize or "see" what's happening in a story or informational text. Students are to underline phrases, in their reading, that create strong sensory images and then write about them in the note section of their Daybook.

Tuesday: pp. 98-the top of 101. Today students will read an excerpt from the book How to Eat Fried Worms. Again, they are to notice sensory details and underline phrases that create a strong mental image. They can write or draw about these images in the response column.

Wednesday: pp. 101 (bottom half)-103. Answer all questions based on the reading.

The Daybook assignments are due on Thursday, February 11, 2010.

Math Homework
This is a fairly easy week in math. We are working on Probability: the chance something will happen, from (0% chance) impossible...unlikely...equally likely/equally unlikely...likely...to certain (100% chance). The best way to learn and make observations about probability it through games (lucky us). There is not much homework this week.

Monday: The Trading Station Math worksheet due 2/9/10
Tuesday: No homework
Wednesday: Number Corner book pp.64-67 due 2/11/10
