Mrs. Fitzgerald's 4th Grade Class

January Book Speech Research

2012-01-24T07:52:00.002-06:00

Due, Tuesday, January 31st

For this speech, you will talk about a topic that interests you. Your topic could be a country or state, an event in history, or a famous person. Your topic could also be an animal, a place or a habitat. Maybe you want to learn about volcanoes, space, or a certain type of music, art or fashion. Whichever topic you choose, you must include facts about that topic in your speech. You must collect research from at least two different sources like the Internet, books or encyclopedias. You need to tell which sources you got the information from in your speech. Next, you should fill out the planning sheet, write a final copy speech and practice your speech at home a few times in front of your parents, siblings, or pets. Call your aunts, uncles, cousins or grandparents and practice reading your speech to them too. Each student should bring in a final copy of their speech to read and one to turn in to the teacher. Each speech should be exactly 1 minute.

Spelling in 4F

2011-09-09T07:38:00.002-05:00

In an effort to “Go Green” we are going to use Spelling City as our main resource for fourth grade spelling this year.

4F’s spelling week will go Wednesday to Wednesday.

The website for the spelling lists is www.spelling city.com. The spelling lists are on the spelling city website along with several practice activities and fun games that the children love! There is also a link that will take you directly to spelling city on the right side of this blog.

On Wednesday the children will take their test in the computer lab. The test will not be printed out if they get a perfect score and I will record the score in my grade book and write the score in their assignment notebooks (again going green) for parent information. If the child misspells a word they will print off their sheet and their score will be on the top.

Alternate Spelling lists will be given to students who get two weeks of perfect scores in a row. Continuation of alternate lists will be on a student to student basis.

Spelling activities will be given to all students. If the student is on the base list they will get a two sided spelling practice activity sheet for homework due on Wednesday. Alternate list spellers will get to choose a spelling activity from the alternate spelling activity list also due on Wednesday. Additional activities may be given to students who miss 5 or more words on the previous weeks test.

About the Blog...

I will be updating the Blog as much as I can.

It is a great way for everyone to know what is happening in our classroom and a great way for the children to share all of the wonderful things they do in school each day!

Feel free to check it out anytime!

The children will be able to participate in this Blog. They will be adding book reviews, book recommendation, and anything we come up with to add as a class.

I can't wait to add new pictures of this years class to the Blog!

If you are going to be in 4F this school year I am SO excited!

Keep reading, writing and practicing multiplication facts!

I can't wait to meet my new class and have the school year BEGIN!
