this week in fourth grade

I have given extra credit for every history chapter. It is the pages in the workbook that we do not do in class. Attach them to the open notes tests when they are given for that chapter. Chapters 5 and 6 counted as only a quiz because of all the absences and holidays that we had in there and some students did not get good notes. In Science since we did not have a test on chapter 9 only, just he exam which included chapter 9, I am counting the ccs for chapter 9 as a TEST... please be sure that they are correct and done in complete sentences, cursive, and with correct punctuation.....
I hope that Mrs. Lord is getting a good response for the winter festival. It is next Friday. We also have a school play and a walkathon coming up in the month of March.
We have had a busy week catching up from all of our sick days and days off.
On Friday, pages 1, 33, and 35 are due from the state notebook. This counts as an easy quiz grade in history. I will assign some more pages to be done for the first week in March tomorrow. Also you need to be collecting pictures for the scenery pages that we will work on in March. Have a good weekend! Until next week.....

P.S. I am having trouble logging on to this blog some days, so if I do not post every week you will know why. I have time to do the post, but I dont have time to sit and wait for all the trouble it takes to sometimes log on.

almost everyone is back

Please pray for Jarrett who is out this week in our class with the flu. Everyone else is back including the teacher who was out on Monday this week. So let's keep washing our hands, taking our vitamins, getting plenty of rest, and stay well. Today we took our Language EXAM which I postponed from yesterday because of me being out on Monday. I wanted the students to have plenty of time to study from the practice test that was sent home with them last night completed and graded. Some of the sentences were even the same. Anyway, the Science exam will be next week on chapters 7 through 9 and then we will start health the following week. There will be about 2 quizzes per week and the first 3 chapters have the most material for memorizing. After that health will be a breeze. We will also have a class project to boost the health grades that will involve cooperation between students in groups. TBA later....Until, next week, stay well and God bless you and your family!

what a week!!

Well, we have had alot of sickness in our class this week and Mrs. Ryals was out Mon. and Tues. morning for the spelling bees. We are also out on Friday to clean so that everyone can get well. So we are playing catch up in our class. WE have done alot of review this week for adverbs and a little SAT practice in our history book and we have worked on our Legacy pictures for the calendar contest coming up. The students need to catch up in their reading journals. We are not moving on to chapter 9 until next week so take the weekend to complete worksheets for chapters one through eight. Thank you so much to Mrs. Lord for making Turkish Delight for us. It was delicious; the best ever....The students will recieve a practice test tonight to turn in tomorrow or Monday for the Language test. It counts as a quiz grade. It needs to be done tonight even though there is no homework so that I can get it back to the students tomorrow and they can use it to study over the weekend, since we are out on Friday. The exam is next week and if they know what is on this test, they will be ready for the exam. It is just different sentences, same concepts. If they wait until Monday to turn it in, they will only have one night to use it to study and I will have to make time to grade them on Monday, but I will do that. Well, have a good weekend....Until next week!
