Good Morning All!
I hope everyone is doing well! It was a dreary weekend but this week is looking good. The mosquitoes are terrible at my place! :( And they are as big as my hummingbirds!! ;)
Today's Home Learning Post will be the final for the year. We made it!! :) I'm working on report cards, and, hopefully, I'll see you on pickup day but we're still not sure how the pickup will work.
This year, summer begins on June 20th. So, 12 more days of spring and then we are into the season of summer. I hope you and your families have a great one!! :)
Although the year didn't go as we thought it would, I treasure the time we had together in Room 144!
Miss you! Play safe!
Love,
Ms. Hackett :)

Keep reading daily!
Try this:
Have someone tape you reading a book so you can hear how it sounds. Use a book that you know and love. Does it sound like talking? Do you pause at commas, and stop at end punctuation marks? Does your voice get louder when you read words in BOLD PRINT?
Writing/Word Work:
The second half of the list of commonly misspelled words:
16. baborpyl
17. ssrcoa
18. rehgotte
19. ourieavtf

22. ppenahde
23. luodc

Write a note or message to a family member. Hide it or leave it for them to find in an unexpected place. Examples: in their shoe, under their pillow.
Make a list of 10 things that either make you feel calm or give you good energy. Try to do something from the list every day. :)
Math:
Increasing (growing) patterns:
Rule: Start at 450 and add 5 each time. What would the 10th. number be?
Rule: Start at 686 and add 4 each time. What would the 8th. number be?
Rule: Start at 800 and add 100 each time. What would the 12th. number be?

Rule: Start at 333 and subtract 10 each time. What would the 8th. number be?

Good morning, boys and girls!
This morning I am writing your note in our classroom! It is sooo quiet without my 18 munchkins! :(
There will be today's home learning, and then next Monday will be the last post for this school year. I know the weather is warm, and you are getting tired of home learning, but try to continue doing some work for another 2 weeks.
Take care. I'll be phoning from school during the week.
Feeling lonely in Room 144.
Love,
Ms. Hackett :)

Writing/Word Work
There is a list of 30 words that kids in grades 3 and 4 use a lot, and misspell a lot. I am going to give you 15 this week, and 15 next week. As an added challenge, I am going to scramble the letters. Unscramble, and get an adult to see if they are correct. Now study them. You will be using them over and over....
1. tiueq
2. ybeam
3. rou
4. uoehng
5. litnu
6. dwrie
7. nfdrie
8. chhiw
9. eeenxlltc
10. tteill
11. yase
12. sue
13. scbeeua
14. neco
15. ginaa
Do you prefer playing indoors or outdoors? Make a pros and cons list. Write for 10 minutes without stopping why one is better than the other.
SYNONYM- a synonym is a word that means exactly or nearly the same as another word.
When writing, we sometimes get into the habit of using the same words over and over.
Example: He is really funny!
To make your writing more interesting, replace funny with....
Examples: He is hilarious! He is sooo comical!
Write a synonym for each of the following words:
1. nice-
2. pretty-
3. good-
4. ran-
5. looked-
Write as many words as you can using the letters from your first and last name. Challenge yourself! Can you get a 5 letter word? A 6 letter word? :) Throw in your middle name! With the extra letters, how about a 7 letter word??? ;)
Math
This week's Nature Ninja tasks are about estimating, symmetry and multiplication. The STEAM post has you working with fact families using the number 54. Remember, there are 4 sentences in a fact family (unless it's a double). We have addition/subtraction families and multiplication/division families. It is important to use fact family knowledge, because if you know 1 fact in a family, you really know all 4.
Try these:
1. 28
7x4=28 20+8=28
4x7=28 8+20=28
28%4=7 28-8=20
28%7=4 28-20=8
2. 48
3. 42
4. 35
5. 60
*sorry about division symbol! :(

Good Morning Class!
It's a beautiful, sunny morning in Doyle's Brook. The birds are chirping! The hummingbirds have arrived! I hope everyone gets outside and enjoys the day!
Thanks to everyone who sent a "jellybean jar" guess. As you know there were 50 jellybeans in the referent, and 230 in the large jar!!
Mr. Coby Lynch had the closest estimate with a guess of 153. Ms. Calleigh Cuthbert had the second closest estimate with a guess of 150. Way to go, Coby and Calleigh!! :) Your jellybeans will be delivered this week!!
There will be 3 posts following this note. Continue to work hard! You are doing great! I miss you! Take care!
Love,
Ms. Hackett :)

There are some great outdoor activities in the following attachment. I especially like the Bingo game, and the raft building activity. When it asks you to find the circumference on the Bingo card, that means perimeter (distance around a shape/object).
