Wonders 4th Grade, Unit 2 Week 5: Sandpiper & Bat Poetry with GOOGLE Classroom

This supplemental pack is aligned to the Wonders 2017 curriculum for 4th grade.

This Wonders Grade 4 supplemental pack is created to supplement Unit 2, Week 5 (The Sandpiper, Bat, The Grasshopper Springs, and Fireflies at Dusk.) The reading responses, activities, and interactive notebook pages focus on the Literature Anthology (Main and Paired Selection), Vocabulary, and Spelling sections of the curriculum. Complete answer keys are included.

ONLINE LEARNING: This Wonders pack now includes GOOGLE slides for online learning, compatible with GOOGLE Classroom. The link to the remote learning pages are on the second page of the resource.

PAPER & PENCIL LEARNING: This Wonders pack was originally designed as paper and pencil practice pages and interactive notebook pages. It can still be printed and used in this way!

These pages were designed to be engaging to students, yet rigorous. The fonts are interesting but easy to read, interactive notebook pages are included, and students are given opportunities to color and cut & paste. Students must have access to the text as they work, as many pages require text evidence.

Students love these interactive pages! Don't worry if you do not use Interactive Notebooks in your classroom. The interactive pages in this lesson can be glued onto notebook paper or construction paper. You can even staple a "notebook" of lined paper for them to use with their Wonders lessons! They'll love this new way of demonstrating their learning.

Interactive Pages:

• Reread - interactive notebook
• My Point of View – interactive notebook

• Vocabulary: Similes - Students color the bats next to the examples of similes.

• Spelling 3 Times Each - Students write the words three times each.
• Spelling Sorts (differentiated) - Each list has a sort.
• Spelling: Triangle Words - Students write the spelling words, one letter at a time, so that they take the shape of triangles.
