April 14 – 17

Grade 4/5 students:

Here is your schedule for the week

1. Math – Login to Dreambox and spend 20-30 min working on tasks and assignments (an activity is assigned by me if there is a calendar icon in the corner of the activity) The website specific to our school is: https://play.dreambox.com/login/knjs/6a9h

2. Writing Journal – Spend 15-20 minutes each day writing a journal entry. 

3. Weekly Writing Task – April is Poetry Month!  Spend 15-20 minutes each day working on one of the forms of poetry (write your own poems).  I have included a description of each type of poem and examples in the attached word document (Haiku, Cinquain, Limerick, and Acrostic poems – plus a bonus if you want extra!).  You might like the website https://www.poetry4kids.com/ Play poetry games, click on Poetry lessons to learn more about each form of poetry or use the rhyming dictionary.  Have fun writing poems!
