4TH GRADERS BATTLE MOODLE: I have set up a Battle of the Books Forums for you to use at least once each week. You can discuss the stories with any of the 8 classroom students participating in Battle. So someone in our class can be discussing a book with someone from Mrs. Frishman's class or any other 3/4 classroom. This forum is a place where you and other students can discuss any Battle book. You can ask questions for other to answer and reply to other student's comments and questions. This will be a great way for you to prepare for the Battle. This forum should only be used to discuss the Battle Books. Remember that you can post from home!
Have fun!

Spelling- TEST- November 21- Go to http://www.spellingcity.com/ and play a game or do an activity!
List 1- ‘ing endings’ Test date is November 24th Think about which of the lists A, B or C you will learn (and remember) from your spelling paper. What kind of speller are you? Could you challenge yourself to learn list C, which has more difficult words in it? Remember to get your parents signature to show that they agree with the list of words you have chosen. You do not have a menu to choose from. You may learn the spelling word in the best way that works for you. We will be learning about the spelling rule in class, this week and next week.
