Hello,
Welcome back to school! My name is Miss Sloboda and this is my first year teaching 4th grade at Saint Joseph School.
This year, we will be starting a new novel based reading program. The students will be exploring five different novels throughout the year. The first novel will be Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library (and the rest will be determined soon).
I am looking forward to this school year. Feel free to reach out to me on ClassDojo or through my email.
The following items must be labeled with the child’s name and grade:
Directions: Students are required to read all three books and complete each project.
Bless This Mouse by Lois Lowry
Project: Flipbook Book Report
Complete each section of the flipbook book report in complete sentences. 3-5 sentences for each section. Please color in neatly. When drawing, please draw and color in your pictures neatly. Flipbook packets were given out at the end of 3rd grade. If you are a newly enrolled student, please ask the front office for a copy of this flipbook to complete.
The One & Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
Project: Create a sequel (a continuation) to the story.
What do you think happens to the characters and why? What new adventures might they go on in your sequel story? If handwritten, complete on a piece or loose leaf. You can also type it on a computer and print it. You should have at least 8 sentences for your sequel. Be careful with capitalization and punctuation. Please put your name and Grade 4 at the top of the paper.
Frindle by Andrew Clements
Google Form Test (Will be given during the 1st week of school)
All homework is posted daily on our class Google Classroom for students and on Class Dojo for parents.
As a way of commorating St. Joseph's 100th Anniversary, the 4th grade had the opportunity to research about the 2010's and 2020's. The students looked at the government, economy, church, education, inventions, toys and entertainment, music, fashion and trends, and sports in the 2010's and 2020's. In April, they presented their decades project to the school where they sang a song from the decade and discussed their research.
