Wednesday, April 04/01/2020

PLEASE put some type of marking on the papers so I know you went over it with the students.  I am asking you to do this so the students can have immediate feedback on their work.  I can not grade it through pictures....they would never know how they did otherwise.  I am not trying to push the grading off on you, I feel very strongly about students receiving immediate feedback and being able to reflect on the outcome of their work.  Students who receive feedback receive higher test scores than students who do not receive feedback.  There is a lot of research that supports this.  I know this is a big ask, but it is highly beneficial.

****You are all doing a super fantastic job....I am proud of all of you: students and parents.......You are super stars....... Go Team

Grade 4: Thursday, 04/02/2020

Please make sure you are going over the answers with your student.  Indicate on the paper somehow that you went over the answers with your student...a star, the number correct, the number incorrect....Just so I know that they received immediate feedback. 

1. read pages 283-287

2. questions 1-4 page 286 

3. Write down on the bottom of questions 1-4 three facts that you learned about Laura Ingles Wilder

**** Continue to study the states and capitals for the Midwest

Grade 4 Social Studies
Wednesday, April 01, 2020
1. read pages 275-279
2. questions 1-4 page 278 
3. Workbook page 79
4. Write down in the blank space on WB page 79 three facts that you learned about Benjamin S. Carson

**** Continue to study the states and capitals for the Midwest
**** Continue to work on Ixl.com
**** Continue to put a grade/mark/number wrong or correct on each assignment.

The reason that I want you to do this is not for me....it is for the student.  Students that are provided with immediate feedback retain more knowledge and score higher on tests.  This is proven research and I have a strong feeling about it. I always gave immediate feedback when we were in school, and I want to carry that tradition on now.  I send the answer keys so it should not take a lot of extra time.  Thank you in advance for supporting me and your student throughout this pandemic.  I know that this puts more pressure on you at home, so again, if there is anything I can do, please let me know.  

I am working on a video teaching thing, but need a bit more time to figure out the best practice.
