Study Tips
Different students work at varied speeds; therefore, not everyone will be bringing home the same amount of work. When possible this time should be spent with a parent/guardian, rather than with the child working alone. Below is a guideline of suggested study topics.
Read!
*Grab a good book, a magazine, a comic book, a newspaper, read aloud to a younger sibling...doesn't matter... just READ!
* Visit our classroom blog reading page: http://mziegler4.blogspot.com/p/literacy.html
As Dr. Seuss said, "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
(I also encourage you to participate in BookIt October - March. If you haven't been a part of this program in the past, DO IT! You get free pizza. Who doesn't love pizza?!)
Review math!
*Review multiplication facts daily. (You can also practice basic addition, subtraction, and division to fit your child's needs).
*Use flashcards, paper/pencil practice, apps, computer websites, board games, card games.... the possibilities are endless!
*Short on time? Do oral practice while driving in the car.
*Or ever think of this.... you usually quiz the 4th grader…so reverse the roles and have the 4th grader quiz the parent! When students are “being the teacher” anticipating an answer, they are studying too!
*Throughout the year, I will teach the students math games they can play to review concepts. Encourage your child to check out at game and play it with them at home!
*Look through the pages of the math spiral notebook. Over the course of the school year we will be adding LOTS of interactive notes and example problems to use for studying.
*Check out our classroom blog. It often has video links and website suggestions.: http://mziegler4.blogspot.com/p/math.html
*Last but not least... check out the Everyday math website - class lessons, games and much more are available here!
Watch a BrainPOP Video! This website has videos on EVERYTHING. The short animated shows are very informative and entertaining. https://www.brainpop.com/

Don't Forget
Other activities such as writing in a journal, playing dice or money games, cooking, and visiting the library are good ways enhance learning at home.
