Good Morning Grade 4!

Today is day 3 of home learning.  I hope you are able to work on some of the tasks from yesterday. 

Here are a few things for today:

1.  Language Arts: 

Reading – read a selection of your choice.  Try to read for at least 15-20 minutes.  Talk about your book to a parent/guardian.  Tell about the main character, the setting, and if you have a chapter book – make a prediction about what will happen.

Writing – You should be working on a story from the last 2 home learning days.  Here’s the day to add the finishing touches.  Wrap up your story with a great ending that ties up the story.  THEN make sure to go back and reread the story to check for punctuation, upper case letters, and spelling.  See if you can add two extra DETAILS somewhere to your story.  This is not an extra part to the story but a detail to describe something.  (ex.  I walked around the pumpkin patch.  The pumpkin I chose was big, round and so heavy to carry.)

You can go on to tumble books and listen to reading.  Here is the information:

2.  Math:

Our class has been set up with the SplashLearn website.  Continue to work on activities from this site.  Try to spend 20-30 minutes (or more!!) working on activities once you are logged in.  You can access this with the code below.  Click “student” and find your name (the avatar was randomly generated by the website).

 Continue to study multiplication facts x0 and x1 up to 12.  (0x1=0 up to 0x12=0, 1x1=1 up to 1x12=12)

Use the numbers below to write in expanded form, draw a picture of base ten blocks, and skip count on by 5’s for the next 5 numbers.

2175                 3190                 1325

**you can also choose 3 numbers up to 100 or 1000 if these are too difficult.               

3.  Cross Curricular:

Explore outside in your yard or somewhere close to home (with a grown up of course, not alone!).  As an explorer, keep a log/journal of the things you notice.  Write down 5 interesting things you have found or seen on your exploration.  When you arrive back home, choose 2 of those things to expand on and write about.  Tell about the following things:  where you found it, why you found it interesting, how you think it got there, and describe what it looks like.  This activity goes along with our work on explorations as well as rock collection. 

**Don’t forget to get some physical activity.  Play a game, ride a bike, go for a walk.  It is important to stay active.
