Terrific Tuesday!

Hello Grade 4 Students and Families!

It was so nice talking to you on the phone yesterday.  Thank you for making time to talk to me. I was thrilled to hear what you have been up to and that some of you have been learning new life skills like: baking, doing chores, going for walks at a social distance, reading and completing some things I posted for you on our blog.  Thank you for keeping in touch by sending emails, photos and adding to our Google Docs folder! For some of you, I couldn't reach you by phone, so I sent guardians an email.  Thanks for your repsonses, if you have responded.  Students, I will look at your March book reports later!  I can't wait to see them.

Update....due to technical issues my read aloud will come on Thursday!  Hint: it has to do with an animal some of us might have been acting like these past two weeks!  Stay tuned.....

Thanks for your patience!  

Here is a little video to make you chuckle (hopefully)! 

Your LEARNING for today should equal about an hour!  So start at number 1 and work down to task number 4 or whatever number you get to in an hour, unless you are engaged and enjoying your learning!  

1) Invent, think, create, find Spring jokes and add them to our folder in Google Docs: SPRING JOKES March 31st.  Remember to include your name!  I have started the shared document for us.

(suggested time 10 minutes)

2) Write an ACROSTIC poem for Spring.  I have a sample done for you! 

(suggested time 30 minutes)

• If you want to type it, you will need to make a new Google Doc (use the + sign in the top left) and give it the title ________________'s(your name on the line) SPRING ACROSTIC poem.  
• Alternatively to get some 'hand exercise' and practice your penmanship, you could use pencil and paper, then take a photo and upload it to the Google Docs folder that we share.  Just make sure you include your name.

3) If you have time, practice your MULTIPLICATION BASIC FACTS with a CARD GAME (Unicorn, Math Multiplication War).  If you need to work on your own, print off this (click the following link)  multiplication bingo card  and grab some dice and some buttons or beans or pasta and try to fill the bingo card! 

(suggested time 20 minutes)

4) Finish your March Book Review.  Before Spring Break, at the beginning of March you were to read a book and complete an online book review.  I have shared the template in Google Docs here  and even done a sample for you.  If you haven't been reading and aren't done.....then take a DEEP BREATH and JUST READ for 30 minutes of adventures for your brain!  

(suggested time 1hour or so.....depends because some of you have been working on it during your time off already.  The DUE DATE has been extended until Monday, April 6th).
