Greetings! Report cards came home today. If your child did not give you one, be sure to ask him/her where it is!!! We are looking forward to our Valentine Celebration this Friday. If you would like to help with this, let me know. A class list will come home on Tuesday, February 9th.
Congratulations to Henry and Emily. These students won our school healthy recipe contest. They will compete in the district finals Monday, February 15th.
We are nearing our testing season. This year as a fourth grader, you child will participate in state writing, reading, and math tests. On February 16th we will begin the first stage of the writing test. It will take most of the week to complete. To help your child do his/her best, please be sure your child gets a good night sleep, and a nutritious breakfast.
Homework will come home on Tuesday, February 9th.
Literacy ~ Students are reviewing their editing and revising skills this week. We are also continuing our literature studies of 'Sing Down the Moon' and 'Jesse Smoke'.
Math ~ Students are building on their knowledge of area this week. Perimeter is the art of knowing 'how much fence' we need. Thanks to Wendy for volunteering Monday morning as we explored perimeter measurements around the room.
Social Studies ~ United States Geography continues to be our focus this week.
Science ~ We learned about 'field of view' last week. On Wednesday we will continue to learn how to manipulate our microscopes, and we will learn about different kinds of slides.
