4th Grade Class 1/17/19

Thursdays are reading and writing in science days! We had a great class! Today, looked at the features of a nonfiction book (glossary, index, table of contents etc.) and talked about how they are helpful to readers. Then, we read the book about different life cycles. After reading and discussing the book, students answered comprehension questions based on the book. Students that did not complete the classwork will need to complete it at home along with their homework. 
 
For homework, the students need to answer question twelve in the packet. They should complete it with at least three sentences. 
 
I will be collecting this for points at the beginning of class tomorrow.
