LITERATURE: Week of May 2-6


Hello, 4th Graders,

This week, you will continue working on your research into the life of a great artist. You should be finished with your book by this Tuesday, May 3. I will have to approve the notes you have taken before you are able to start working on your PowerPoint. PowerPoints will be due next Tuesday, May 10. As soon as you finish your PowerPoint, you can begin working on your art piece in the style of your artist.

Be sure that you are following your rubric as you take notes about your artist, because I will use that rubric when I grade you. You might want to bring your own flash drive from home so that you can take it back and forth from the computer lab to the room to your house and work on your project in all three places!

Your spelling words this week come from a list of words every 4th/5th grader should know. If the word has a definition, you must be able to spell and define it.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. H
