Dear Parents,
Our class will be reading the novel Number the Stars for the next month. I can't stress enough how important it is to keep up with the reading. We will be reading two chapters at a time, and then have a day each for questions and quiz. The progression of the class procedure will be the Vocabulary given one day prior to assigning the chapters. The vocabulary will need to be written and defined only. Each student is responsible for copying down the vocab words when given. They will then be attached to the questions answered in class. The quiz will be on the following day, and new chapters assigned. The students will have only the class period to answer the questions/quiz, so keeping up is essential. Your child may wish to read beyond the assigned chapters, but my caution is they may get confused with what is taking place and when.
The spelling units will be followed as usual. Although the sentences generally won't have a specific form, they do need to be fourth grade sentences.
