Unit
3, Week 6- February 27, 2012
This
week we will listen to, read, and write, various forms of poetry. If you have a
favorite poem or book of poetry from home, you may bring it in to share with
the class. We will focus on reviewing some of the vocabulary words from
Unit 3. It would be helpful if you will reinforce the meaning of these
words at home with your child. Our spelling words for the week are 4th
grade level science words, as well as previous vocabulary words. Please
practice these words at home as well. Let’s have a great week!
Spelling Words: fragile, natural,
mountain, adaptation, camouflage, hibernate, predator, terror, fascinated,
biologist, massive, tropical, brilliant, chorus, destruction, forecasts,
canopy, fragrant, pollen, wondrous
Spelling Homework: These are your spelling words for the week. Do one
assignment each night and bring it to school the following day. On Friday, you
will be quizzed on the words.
Monday: Look at all of your spelling words and try to come up
with different ways to group the words by their similarities and differences
(example: nouns/verbs, or double vowels/consonants). Be creative! Write your
lists on a piece of paper.
Tuesday: Write a short story (no more than one page, try to
use at least 10 of your spelling words).
Wednesday: Create a word search or crossword puzzle (using
definitions), using all of your spelling words. Use the graph paper in this
packet, or you can create your own using an online puzzle maker (ask an adult
for permission first of course!)
Thursday: Have an adult
give you a practice spelling quiz on your own lined paper. Then correct the
quiz and score it. Practice any words that were incorrect. Then put the words in
ABC order.
Things going on this week in 4th Grade:
Saturday, March 3-
Falmouth Science Fair @ FHS Field House. Elementary projects can be set up as
early as Friday, March 2, between 4:00-6:00 PM and will be informally judged on
Saturday, March 3 from 10:00 AM-Noon.
Please sign, cut
on the dotted line, and return on Tuesday:
