Good morning!
Just a few things about this week...
All videos posted are review! We will be having our six weeks test on THURSDAY. It will cover plot, setting, theme, folktales, genre, dictionary skills, multiple meaning words, characters, and point of view: All the things we've covered so far!
It will consist of a reading passage that is a folktale and has STAAR based questions for students to answer. It will be short and sweet but without a lot of room for error.
Also this week in vocabulary we will be working on Homographs. Homework will come home tonight over them and is due Wednesday with a quiz on Friday.
Students will also have a reading passage Wednesday Night for homework that won't be due until Friday to keep up practice at home.
We will be reviewing in class this week for our test and getting ready to ace it so we can move into non-fiction which is a Huge part of the fourth grade curriculum.
If you did not get yellow folders signed and returned today please do so tomorrow.
Thanks for all you do! :)

Week of September 22-26
Good morning!
Lot's of things to do this week!
We are wrapping up the fiction portion of our studies with the final TEKS covering Point of View. I have posted several new videos for students to enjoy!
We will be starting guided reading groups in class this week as we have finished our DRA testing and found everyone's independent "just right" reading levels.
In social studies this week I will be reviewing with students who were unsuccessful at our Texas Regions lesson last week and begin our lessons on Native Texans. I've posted some videos with important social studies information on them for you to share at home as well.
Last week... the grades over characters were slightly lower than our theme passages from the week before. We will be working to correct that this week!
Our vocabulary this week with focus on Homographs! Look for the words to come home with your child tomorrow. The back side of the word list will be homework that is due on Wednesday.
On Wednesday night I will be sending home a short passage for students to work on as homework to review all we have already learned including... characters, setting, and plot. This homework passage will not be due until Friday so students will have plenty of time to work on it with you.
The end of the six weeks is quickly approaching and so far we are off to a brilliant start! Thanks for your help and support at home and all the many many super parent things you do!
