Planners: Students are responsible for recording homework and other information in their planners. Your student should be asking you to sign the planner each night.
Most curriculum information will be found on my web page. I will send information on an as needed basis through the email list service, please sign up for this service if you have a fourth grader in my class.

| 4 | Fourth Grade Literacy
Areas of Focus for the First Trimester:
Writer's Workshop:
We are focusing on establishing a writing community and routines for our Writer's Workshop during the First Trimester. Through a study of personal narratives students will create a foundation for their writing for the Second and Third Trimesters.
Word Study:
Students are reviewing their cursive handwriting, and will be mastering the "Must Know" words for fourth grade. Must Know pretests are given on Fridays, and the test is the following Thursday. Students will tape the words to study into their planners each week.
Reader's Workshop:
Students are engaged in independent reading and are meeting with me for reading assessments. Students will be working in groups and will be reading books tied into our theme of study "Minnesota." Students will be working on reading skills and reading strategies to improve their reading.
