Tip #2 - Study the night before the test. Be sure to review all of the spelling words the night before so that all of the information is fresh in your childs mind. Sometimes it can be the added boost needed to commit words to memory. Tip #3 - Play memory games. Make up fun tricks to remember words or make note of patterns for your child to remember better. For example, if your child has a lot of words with q in them, remind them that q is always followed by u. If all of the words on the list are "ie" words, make note of that to help your child remember that this is the "ie" list. Tip #4 - Break up large words. If you have a word like skyscraper, break it down into two words so they can see how easy the word is to remember (sky + scraper). Find smaller words nested within larger words and point them out. Tip #5 - Use silly sentences to remember 4th grade spelling words. Theres probably always one or two words on a list that a child just cant seem to recall. In these cases, try a silly sentence. For example, the word strength might be remembered by the sentence, "Sam takes red eggs near gold tiki heads." It should be something very ridiculous, as thats what your child will easily remember.
It is no doubt that science is the driver of modern day economies. While in the front it may appear that the IT, pharmaceuticals and oil industries are the high profit companies, behind these industries are great scientific minds. In fact, the amount of royalties earned by the scientists behind these industries is so huge that it makes them instant millionaires. This is the reason as to why you should invest in the development of a scientific mind for your child. This is an investment that you start right from the 4th grade. It is therefore important that the choice of the 4th grade science projects for your child should be one that develops a critical thinking, creativity and analytical skills. With this understanding, this article provides tips on how to select the 4th grade science projects that will make your child an outstanding scientist.
An example of remediation in reading is when the child is chronologically in the 4th grade but reads at the 2nd grade level. Remedial instruction presents the student with materials written at the 2nd grade level and has the child read them. The problem is that the child may not have the decoding skills for vocabulary or the language skills to understand the complex sentences of anything written above 2nd grade level. Both of these problems are typical of special education children and have the root of the problem in skills that most children master at 4 and 5 years of age. Unfortunately, the assumptions made by most people in education are that everyone is equally ready for school by the time they enroll in kindergarten.
The "rules" and "guidelines" for schools are complex and dictated to them by the prevailing winds of politics, either state, federal or both. How they approach instruction depends on many factors, the most telling being that they have been identified as a "school in crisis". Remediation Remediation has been used consistently in the past but generally is not approved for schools in crisis. The purpose was to work with students at their reading/math level until they mastered the skills allowing them to achieve at the level and pace of their peers. This approach may be appropriate for the child who is slightly behind his class, either because he had a long-term absence or other factors interfered with his learning at the time the skills were taught. The problem with remediation has always been that teachers taught the students the skills for which they assumed the students were now ready. They have not addressed the missing skills (possibly skills that should have been in place years before that teacher ever met the child) that caused the reading/math skills to be low in the first place.
Often, the instructional year is looked at in isolation. 5th grade teachers only look at 5th grade curricula, 3rd grade teachers only look at 3rd grade, 8th grade teachers only look at 8th grade, etc. Rather than planning your academic year based on your textbooks only, consider looking at your academic year as one "leg" in a relay race. Its your job as an educator to cover the skills, strengths, "speed," and accuracy of the leg youre on, as well as the hand off to the next leg in the race. Using backwards educational goals makes this much easier, and the scope of your classroom instruction will be much more thorough.
It should also be noted that my school follows a time allocation chart in which each subject is assigned a specific number of minutes per week by grade level. Lunch, recess, special classes, computer lab time, math, reading, social studies, science, physical education, writing, and rest time are all charted down to the minute. My school has about 350 students, until the spring of each year when we get an additional 50 students who are the children of migrant workers in the local blueberry fields. I consider the school to be medium-size. One of the complications we face each year is that we share our music, physical education, and art teachers with three other elementary schools. Different teachers are at the school on different days. This makes a cookie-cutter daily schedule simply impossible.
