Welcome to 4th Grade!!
Download Meet Mrs. DuShane! Hello!! Thank you for taking time to check out my blog! I am so excited to meet my new students, and I hope that everyone can come and say a quick hello during our Meet & Greet Drive Thru on Thursday, August 13th. I will be giving the students paper resources, which they can put right into their binders. You may be wondering about school supplies. While we may not use all of the supplies during digital learning, students will need all supplies once we are back in the classroom meeting face to face. The 3-ring binder and colored folders will be very important for organizing materials at home. Download 4th Grade Supply List During a "normal" school year, I update my blog daily/weekly with homework, curriculum updates, videos and resources. Until further notice, all communication and resources will be sent through CTLS Learn, which is the new platform Cobb County teachers and students will use for all teaching and learning. You will be getting more information on this soon! That being said, you will not need to check my blog, unless you just want to peruse the resources I keep here. Your child should be receiving a special note from me in the mail soon with directions for the first (unofficial) assignment of the year. 😊 I am looking forward to meeting all of you, and I know that we are going to have a fantastic school year! Feel free to contact me with any questions or just to say hello! Mrs. DuShane Email: Lauren.DuShane@cobbk12.org Continue reading

Assignments for the week of May 11th- May15th
Thursday, May 14th Today is STEM Day! There are no new assignments, but students may choose an activity from the list to complete. This does not need to be turned in. Download 2020 STEM DAY Wednesday, May 13th Virtual College Day Presentation Please watch the Virtual College Day Presentation. There are no new assignments today, but students are welcome to catch up on listening to Brown Girl Dreaming or work on the Covid-19 Digital Journal if they would like something else to do. Tuesday, May 12th Social Studies: Watch the BrainPop Video, Civil War: Civil War (Username: kempmedia/Password: cougars Reading: Listen to an excerpt from Brown Girl Dreaming Math: Learning Target – I can understand and convert customary and metric measurements. We are starting our very quick unit on measurement. You need to learn about the customary system, which is used in the United States, and the metric system, which is used everywhere else and by all scientists. In 4th grade, we just learn about measuring length, weight or mass, and capacity. You also need to be able to convert one unit to another. For example, since there are 3 feet in 1 yard, you would be able to convert 2 yards to six feet. Use this reference sheet throughout the unit to help you remember the different units. It’s important that you don’t confuse the two systems of measurement. 😊 Download Measurement Reference Sheet Activity #1 – We will look at a Smartboard together during our Zoom and complete a sheet together. Please print out the sheet below prior to our lesson. Download Customary Worksheet Activity #2 – Watch the following videos. Please watch this Study Jams video to get an overview of both systems of measurement. http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/measurement/units-of-measurement.htm Next, watch this YouTube video to get a better idea about the customary units of length. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9sYvDCnI0g Now, watch this Brainpop video to get a good introduction to the metric system. https://www.brainpop.com/math/geometryandmeasurement/metricunits/ Monday, May 11th Reading/Social Studies Activity 1: Watch this video about the attack on Fort Sumter: Fort Sumter Activity 2: Click on the link to read along/listen to Mrs. DuShane explain secession and the attack on Fort Sumter, which marked the beginning of the Civil War. Secession and the Attack on Fort Sumter Read Aloud: Listen to an excerpt from Brown Girl Dreaming Math: Learning Target –– I can determine if a figure has symmetry and if so, how many lines of symmetry there are. We will continue learning about symmetry and lines of symmetry today. Activity #1 - Start by watching this video on Study Jams. You will have to click through the video step by step, but it’s really not that difficult! http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/geometry/lines-of-symmetry.htm Activity #2 - Complete pages 11 (back side only) and page 12 in your Math Packet #2. They are titled Independent Practice (1-6) Activity #3 – Check your answers with the answer key. Download May 11th Answer Key Continue reading

Friday, May 1st There are no new assignments today. Make sure to turn in your weekly assignments and begin listening to Mrs. DuShane read aloud, Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. There will be an optional Zoom session today for you to hang out with your friends. Boys will meet from 10:30-11:00 and girls will meet from 11:00-11:30. No worries if you can't make it! Have a great weekend! Thursday, April 30th Reading: Activity 1: Go to Seesaw and complete the activity you have been assigned asking you to read aloud the poem, Under the Back Porch. You only need to read this aloud, nothing else! : ) Activity 2: Continue working on Weslandia Choice Menu. This is due by Sunday. Math: Learning Target –– I can understand shapes and classify quadrilaterals according to their sides and properties. Activity #1 – Rewatch this video. https://www.mathantics.com/lesson/quadrilaterals Activity #2 – Play this game. Try to get the highest score you can. https://www.turtlediary.com/quiz/classify-quadrilateral.html Activity #3 – Complete the back of page three in your Math Packet 2 titled Partner Practice numbers one through five (we will do the front together during our Zoom). Be sure to check your answers to make sure you aren’t confusing the shapes. 4th graders tend to have the most difficulty with the rhombus. Remember, all four sides have to be congruent for a parallelogram to be a rhombus. 😊 Partner Practice (1-5) Answer Key link - Download Thursday April 30th Answer Key Wednesday, April 29th For our Zoom class tomorrow morning, please bring one of your Weslandia Choice Menu activities to share with the class! Math: Learning Target –– I can understand shapes and classify quadrilaterals according to their sides and properties. Today we are going to start learning about quadrilaterals. Quad is a prefix that means four, so these polygons will all have four sides. The following sheet will be very helpful to you in the coming days. You should print this out to keep with you. Download Quadrilateral Identification Sheet Activity 1: Watch the Study Jams video to learn how quadrilaterals are classified based on their sides and angles. An important vocabulary word you need to learn is congruent, which just means the same or equal. http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/math/geometry/classify-quadrilaterals.htm Now watch this MathAntics video: https://www.mathantics.com/lesson/quadrilaterals Activity #2 – Complete page two in your MATH PACKET #2 titled Intro to Quadrilaterals – the family tree Activity #3 – Check your answers with the answer key - Download Wednesday April 29 Answer Key Reading: Continue working on your Weslandia Choice Menu- Turn in through Seesaw, Office 365 or Email by Sunday Tuesday, April 28th Reading: Read Weslandia again, and choose 3 activities from the choice menu to complete!
