4th Grade Homework Required: 20 minutes of independent reading or studying nightly. (RAZ-Kids and Study Island are excellent resources to be used.)

We encourage you to do at least one study activity each school night. Make flash cards of important terms. Draw and label a diagram from this week’s lesson.

Read an additional 20 minutes for your 40 book challenge. Skim your notes from today. Look for patterns or important details. Find three words you don’t know and look up the meanings. Make up three practice questions you may see on a test. Write a poem or funny story using some key terms from your lesson. Create a bubble map of a character that you are reading about. Create a double bubble to compare 2 characters in your book. Draw a picture of a scene in a book you are reading. Go over your notes and highlight key facts.
