I have been so impressed with your powerpoints that tell the fractured fairy tales you have written. I think by Tuesday, most of us will be finished with those and ready to share them with the 2nd and 3rd graders! If you know you are far from being finished (due to sickness or being out of town) bring a flash drive to school with you tomorrow, and you can take your story home to finish it.
This week, you will choose a Cinderella tale from another country to read and analyze. Your assignment packet will include the due date (next Monday) and a chart for you to use for your analysis of your story. You will have a test over the genre of fairy tales next Wednesday, February 2, and will be reporting about your Cinderella tale next Monday and Tuesday, January 31 and February 1.
Your spelling and vocabulary words this week come from a list of words that all 4th graders should be able to spell, define, use in a sentence, and know an antonym for. They are easier to spell, but you will have to be able to do all of the above for your test on Friday. Study!
SPELLING/VOCABULARY--You will need to know how to spell, define (the definition would be a synonym, right?), and list an antonym for the following words. Your test will be Friday, January 28.
1. exchange
2. responsible
3. glum
4. ripples
5. shield
6. feeble
7. convince
8. preserve
9. probable
10. scorn
