Language Arts

 BOOK CLUB!

The 4th grade is reading 5 different novels! Your child is reading one of the following:

Al Capone Does my Shirts with Ms. Germanier

Lincoln's Grave Robbers    with Ms. Mariani's

The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P Figg  with Mrs. Chrystall

Esperanza Rising  with Ms. Datz

"I Survived the Great Chicago Fire"  with Mrs. Diviacchi


GRAMMAR:

Most weeks your child will be assigned a rule to complete.  The rule is usually assigned on a Tuesday and is due and corrected on Thursday. (If your child sees Mrs. Mariani for language arts he/she is not required to complete this assignment).  Their grammar book is green.


VOCABULARY: 
Most weeks your child will be given  3 prefix, root or suffix word parts to study and practice.  The majority of these will be coming from the Latin or Greek languages.  They will be given a quiz at the end of each week to see if they have learned the word's mean and can apply it to a complete sentence that makes sense. They also have a blue booklet that they will be working in during the week, as practice.
