Mrs. Hull's 4th grade

Hi Everyone! We are halfway through our first week of online learning! I have been getting a lot of student and parent feedback already! Please reach out to me with questions/ concerns/ successes along the way- we are in this together. 🙂

Today we have two new assignments (reading, math) that will be due Thursday and some other assignments to continue to work on. I will start with the new ones first.

Math

We finished up lesson 8 on quarter turns. Thank you to all the parents that sent me the problem set through email! Today we are going to do lesson 9.
1. Students will watch the video first.

I also have a fun video that we watch all the time in the classroom to check out:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3AOoLbA3us
2. Students will then do the HOMEWORK page first for lesson 9. This homework lesson (shapes at the top) will help with the problem set today.
Must do: 1,2,3,4 Students will be using pictures of pattern blocks to form angles. Students can cut out the shapes on the top of the homework to use as a manipulative if that helps.

Then check the homework once you are done using this.

3. Next, do the problem set for lesson 9. Must do: 1,2 Can do: 3
This problem set is what you send to me. You can continue to email me a picture, send it through Remind, or I am going to post a video on Google Classroom today to teach students how to turn them in on Google Classroom. Either way works!

These slides can help with the problem set. They go along with it and provide nice questions to ask.

4. Do not forget about Zearn and Khan Academy at home too! I suggest working 20-30 minutes on both or alternating like we do in school. Zearn one day, Khan the next day, etc. Student should work to follow the lessons in math, so student should try to get to Lesson 9!

Reading

Good job on the Readworks article on Monday! We have a new reading passage this week with questions, however, it is not from Readworks today.

1. Students will read a St. Patrick’s Day Poem called Leprechaun Language.

2. After reading, students will answer the questions that follow the poem.
– Students can print the questions, write on them, and send me a picture of it through email
– Students can read the questions, answer them on a piece of paper, and then send a picture of that
– Lastly, students can go onto Google Classroom and I have the questions posted and they can answer it electronically (this might be the easiest way!)

3. Students should also be reading 25 minutes a day. On Friday, I will be posting specific reading group assignments. For right now, they can just read some of their reading group books or read a book of their choice.

Getepic.com this is also a site we use in school. This has hundreds/thousands of online books! All you need is our class code. I posted the instructions below

Writing

Writing has been a journey! Students have done this type of writing 2 times already with me, so they should know the expectations!
1. Today, students should be writing their conclusion on their blueprint. After today, the blueprint should be done. Please look at my Day 1 and Day 2 posts if you need help with the blueprint. Here are some conclusion examples to help guide students:

Conclusions

1. While reading the two texts, I was surprised to see how many things Martin and Ruby had in common. Martin Luther King and Ruby Bridges had many similarities, but also many things that were different.

2. I was really happy that segregation ended because of these civil rights heroes. After reading the two texts “Walking Tall” and “Honoring King”, Martin Luther King Jr. and Ruby Bridges had many similarities and differences.

3. In conclusion, after reading “Walking Tall” and “ Honoring King”, I learned that Ruby and Martin both helped to end segregation and were true civil rights heroes. There were so many fascinating similarities and differences between the two texts

I will also post these examples on Google Classroom.

2. If your child is done with the blueprint, they can start typing their final piece! The final piece is 4 paragraphs. I will post an example of what it should look like below using a different topic as an example. (Do not add color to yours, I just added color to my final piece to show important parts)

Sharpen the Saw!

My habit 7 suggestion today on this possible rainy day is to do some yoga!

I know this may be a stressful time for students and parents. Try your best to Sharpen the Saw daily.
This video may help with students having a difficult time
