Monday Assignments and Weekly Spelling and Vocabulary
Good Morning 4th Grade Students and Parents 🌞,
-Reading: Read chapter 13, "Fire!" 🔥🔥🔥in Everything on a Waffle, p. 118-124. Write a summary in your packet, and keep track of new vocabulary.
After discussions with Mr. Jones, fellow teachers, and class parents I've decided to reduce 📉the daily assignment workload 🚚for students, and try to find a balance ⚖ between online learning 👩💻 and book-based activities 📖. We're asking that students put in about 2 hours per day total in home-learning activities, including Spanish work. They do not have to go beyond that. So if your son or daughter has put in those 2 hours, it's OK with me that they stop 🛑 for the day and then pick up the unfinished material the following day. I welcome your feedback as we work together to foster student learning and growth in an entirely new way. As always, please email me 📧 with any questions or concerns. MB

-Recipes: I recently tried the "Cherry Pie🍒 Pork Chops" recipe at the end of chapter 13. It sounds a little weird, but they came out good! I also made the chapter 2 asparagus recipe as a side-dish: 
Keep on cooking 🍴 and sending those pics - it's Extra Credit 🌟 for you, and we all enjoy seeing what you've made. Check out the pics of food that students made this weekend in the "Yes, Please!" section below ⬇️.
-Lexia: There's no Lexia Reading assignment for Monday.
-Both Math Groups ➗➕➖✖: There's no Eureka Math lesson Monday. Instead, spend 30 minutes in IXL practicing starred skills in section P, and then move on to Q. Please work in consecutive order through the skills in that section, and remember to ⭐read the explanation⭐ if you make a mistake. Un-Group should move ahead to skills in sections Q, R and S. If you don't see the starred skills, make sure you're signed in, and click the refresh 🔄 button at the top left toolbar in Chrome.
