Today your 4th grader is bringing home a planner full of more typical assignments. In addition to the nightly math homework, we begun our Wordly Wise vocabulary lessons. Each Monday, the kids begin working on exercises A-D in class and whatever they have left becomes homework due on Wednesday. Your child is also bringing home a poem focused on similes to finish writing. We are working though a mini-writing-unit on poetry that will supplement our first novel, Love That Dog.
