In Reading, we will take a look back on our lives as readers up until this point. We'll remember when reading was its best and worst for us and examine how those situations were different to answer the question, "How can I make reading THE BEST for me?" We will tour the classroom library and learn our classroom rituals for library checkouts, book logging, and much more.
In Writing, we will take a close look at a favorite, famous author, Patricia Polacco. We will use her books and thoughts on writing to guide our own 4th grade writing journey as we break in our notebooks for a busy year. Get your pencils ready, because this year, we are going to live the life of a REAL writer!
We're going to start Language Skills Block piece by piece, jumping first into vocabulary. (You can get a head start on our four vocabulary words for the week right here.) We will dig a little deeper into word work with word analysis as we review the concept of a prefix using two that should be familiar to you, pre- and un-.
I am looking forward to everything! 4th Grade is such a wonderful year to be in school and we hope to make this a very memorable one!
