Enjoy today's reading of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. Do a great job on your summaries. :)
Vocabulary
Continue working on your vocabulary log. Remember to choose one of the following choices.
1. You can make your own vocabulary log with paper. Be sure to include the word, definition, a sentences using your word, and a picture of your word.
2. You can create a document that includes all 10 words to share with me. You can type your word, the definition, a sentence using your word, and you can use clipart for the picture of your word.
Have fun learning the next set of words. We will have a quiz on them in a few weeks.
Today's Word:
plentiful- in great supply, easily available; more than enough
Grammar/Writing
Make sure you have read the comment(s) I left on your Earth Day writing assignment, and you have adjusted your writing accordingly. If you have not done that assignment, go back to Tuesday's page and reread those directions and complete it. If you did complete it and you do not see a comment, that probably means you haven't shared your document with me, and I need you to do that as soon as possible.
If you have done that, then you're good! Focus on spelling. :)

Art
Hello Fourth Graders and Family!
Man, has the weather been glorious. Spring has sprung! How are the flowers in your yard? Mine are exploding... I hope you are able to get outside and "consider the lilies", like the scripture suggests us to do.
The link for your lesson is still~
https://drive.google.com/open?
If you haven't already done so, please view the "O'keeffe Flowers" and "Introduction FLOWERS" videos before you look at the lesson.
This week we will not only appreciate the giant flower paintings of O'Keeffe, but there is another artist I would like to tell you about, Andy Warhol. He was a POP Artist. He took what was "popular" in society and created art. He was a print maker. He would make multiple prints of the same image, but change it slightly with color. That's what we are doing in our lesson. Instead of using popular actors, or even popular soup cans ( as Warhol did ), we are going to look at FLOWERS, which are very popular right now because of SPRING!
The lessons are dated April 16 and entitled-" Flowers- Colorful Pop Art"- A.& B." Flowers- Finished Flowers", is the last video. Please view them in order. A,B,C.
I hope you use your color theory and your amazing creativity to explore the flowers God has given you to "consider" right in your own yard!
Send me pictures of your finished creations. I would love to see them! As always, you don't HAVE to be creative, you GET to!
Love you all!
Mrs. T
