Good Morning, 4th graders! I was so happy to see many of you last week! I was also thrilled to announce our Google Classroom for today. However, it seems many of you are having difficulty accessing it. Very sad about that:( Anyway, while I work out the kinks in Google Classroom, I am posting your work here, on our class page. So, continue to check the "Work for Today" and I'll let you know when things work out with Google Classroom. Have a great day!

Five new videos from Miss Montgomery!

ELA: For the final addition to your autobiography, today you are to write about your future. What are your hopes and dreams for years to come? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In 10 years? What do you think you will be doing as a career? What are your plans for the future? When you have finished your autobiography, collect all parts-in chronological order. Make a decorative cover, if you can, and add some photographs, if you have them available. I would love to see them when we get back! Spelling: List 22-- Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York Journeys Reading: Define words on pages 620-621 , then read page 622. Create a graphic organizer to use as you read "The World According to Humphrey." (We'll read the story tomorrow.) Social Studies: Read the passage on The United States Constitution --The Bill of Rights, then answer the following question: Write one way the Bill of Rights affects you.The United States Constitution (continued) The leaders of the Constitutional Convention did not easily agree. For example, members from small states worried that the large states would have too much power. Larger states worried that the smaller states with fewer people would make decisions or many. They finally reached a compromise. The states would be equal in the Senate. Each state would have two representatives. The House of Representatives would have representation in proportion to population. This would give larger states more representatives than smaller states. The delegates knew that the Constitution was not perfect. They built in a way to make amendments, or changes, to the law. The first changes were called the Bill of Rights. These amendments protected people’s individual rights and freedoms. Bill of Rights First Amendment: Freedom of religion, speech, and the press Second Amendment: Right to own weapons Third Amendment: Government cannot force people to house soldiers Fourth Amendment: Protection against unfair searches and seizures Fifth Amendment: Protection from being tried for a serious crime unless charged by a grand jury Sixth Amendment: Right to trial by jury in criminal case Seventh Amendment: Right to trial by jury in most civil cases Eighth Amendment: Protection from cruel and unusual punishments Ninth Amendment: People’s rights are not limited to those in the Constitution Tenth Amendment: Powers not given to the federal government remain with the states or the people

So, had you figured it out? Did you know that the soldier was Jan Lasek? I know AJ knew! Ok, so let's continue...Snow Treasure (continued) They were out in the hall.  Jan stopped to turn the key in the lock outside the door where Peter had been kept prisoner.  Into his pocket went the key.  And now Peter could hear the tramp, tramp, tramp, of boots.  It came from a distant end of the barracks but it grew noisier with each step.  "We'll have to run," Jan whispered.  All the time the sound of the marching soldiers came closer.  They seemed to be coming down a hall that would meet the corridor at right angles.  And now Peter could hear nothing because of sound in his own ears.  He wanted to run in the opposite direction.  Why go this way? he wondered.  We'll only run into them.  The marching men must be nearing the corner.  But Jan only kept going faster towards them.  Uncle Victor said he was to follow Jan at all costs.  So behind him ran the breathless frightened Peter. And now, on the right, Peter saw a door.  Through it Jan pulled him.  There was just time to close it softly.  The Germans were turning the corner as Peter could tell by the sound of their steps on the other side of the door.  Peter fell into the wet snow of the beach.  They were outside the barracks and, for the moment, safe. Jan flattened himself against the wall of the building and Peter stood up beside him.  The shadow of the barracks hid them.  The rain was loud on the crusted snow.  "We're lucky the sentry was going up the beach, not down," Jan whispered.  "Otherwise he'd have seen the light when we opened the door."  Peter felt a throbbing in his ears.  He tried not to pant, but his breath was loud.  Now there was another soft pod, pod, pod--more marching.
