Greetings, 4th Graders & welcome to your first day of distant learning!
Check-in for the day here:
*You can also check-in by going to your google classroom or clicking this link.
This morning, before you begin, you will need to check over the detailed learning page for each subject: Math, Reading, Spelling, & Social Studies to see what needs to be kept at home when you finish and what needs to be sent back. I suggest that you just keep putting the papers that need to come back to me (Mrs.Brake) in your packet and the rest in a safe spot that you will not lose them. Whatever system you use, make sure it works well for you. I will be on my computer all day, so please contact me if you need help...that is what I'm here for.
Remember throughout these next weeks that all the work you send back to me will be graded and put into the grade book, just as if you were in school. That is why I am asking you to SLOW DOWN, take your time, and do the very best you can on the work in front of you. The purpose of this is for you to learn and expand your brain just as if you were in school. Please remember I am here for you every step of the way and I BELIEVE IN YOU!
On that note, let's get started...
MATH:
Today for math you are going to be working 14-4: Area of Parallelograms. Throughout math, you will need to do Xtramath (let me know if there is not a way you can do this at home and we can get something figured out), watch the 2 math videos, follow along on one of the videos with me going over the reteaching worksheet, and finish off with the practice & daily spiral review sheet.
The only things that come back to me are the 14-4 daily spiral review and practice, which should be back to back on one sheet of paper. Please remember to show all of your work.

READING:
For reading today we are going to do a little vocabulary, learn a couple of new Greek/Latin roots, prefixes, or suffixes, and do a daily spiral review (just do Mondays today). For the vocabulary words, you are going to have to watch my video to find out the definitions, if not you will have to use a dictionary in your home or go online. Hint Hint...watch the video for Greek/Latin roots and get some free answers! :)
The only things that need to come back to me for reading are the Greek & Latin root word sheet, Monday & Tuesday's spiral review, & your vocabulary sheet.

SPELLING:
Today for spelling, you will need to look over all your spelling words and then sort them into groups. I only need the practice sheet back, I do not want the list of spelling words back again. Please keep that as you will use it more this week to help you study and with the second spelling sheet.
What needs to come back: Spelling practice 1
SOCIAL STUDIES:
For Social Studies you need to read through our last region booklet, the Northeast region. Go ahead and color in the pictures and fill out what it asks you to throughout the book. If it is nice out maybe you could read it outside to get some fresh air!
Nothing needs to come back to me right now for Social Studies, however, DO NOT LOSE YOUR BOOKLET you are going to need it on Wednesday.
Once you have completed all your tasks for the day, take a nice break and listen to a chapter from Red if you wish, remember, you can find this above on the "read aloud" tab. Also, don't forget to do your P.E. and/or Music assignments for the week.
YAY! You are done for the day. I knew you could do it! I am so proud of all your hard work and accomplishments...I will meet you back here tomorrow to discuss what to do then. Until then, go play and get some fresh air.
