Please note the changes in the homework schedule and follow the sheet carefully.This will be the final week of homework folders so students should try to finish well. Students will be working on science, social studies, and reading assignments this week. Students will be completing a Reading Response Web (book report) for the Accelerated Reading Books they are reading over the next two weeks. They will complete the book report in class and give an oral presentation on the book they have read. They will also take an AR test on their individual book next week.
The students did a great job during their performance Thursday and I am so blessed to teach them daily. I am so proud of the fourth grade class and all of their hard work and growth over the past year. Keep up the good work so we can finish these next two weeks well! 4th grade Rocks!!

** The California State Report is a project designed to help students identify important facts about California using their Social Studies book as a resource. Students have been given ample time in class to gather facts and write important information on the worksheets provided for each topic. Their homework in the next two weeks is to use the information on the worksheet to create a well written paragraph about each topic. We have been working on this during our Social Studies time in class and will continue to complete the topics over the next two weeks. Students will bring their paragraphs to school and they will design the cover for their report in class and assemble the project on Thursday, June 4th.

The family life assignments should be worked on by the student and discussed with the parent. Please use the permission slips and the suggestions for at home enrichment activities at your own discretion.
