Weekly Update 10-15-19

Hello Fourth Grade Families,
I am looking forward to meeting with you over the next week during parent-teacher conferences. I have so much to share. I feel thankful to have your children in my class this year. Thank you for all that you do at home to support your child and prepare them to learn at school! Congratulations to our Variety Show performers! Our class was very well represented on stage. Everyone did a fantastic job!




Thanks to all who've submitted orders for the fourth grade wreath sale. These orders are due October 25th. You can place an online order HERE.

Next week we will swim on Thursday 10/24. Our time will be from 12:20-1:20. It looks like we currently have one mom and one dad. If you'd like to join, you're still welcome! Volunteers, please arrive at 12:10 and meet us at the locker rooms. Please send your child to school with a bathing suit, towel, and labeled bag. Goggles are optional.
The Homecoming/Hearts of Gold Parade will be TOMORROW at 4 pm!
There will be no school on Friday, October 25th. Enjoy the long weekend!

Our class will celebrate Halloween with a party from 1:15-2:15 pm. Sign up here if you'd like to help! You can also contact Ketti Collins if you would like to contribute. Siblings and other family members welcome to join us for the party! The Wealthy parade will begin at 2:30. Fingers crossed for beautiful weather!

This week in fourth grade:

We looked at how we've grown as readers in these first nine weeks of school. We set goals to work towards for the next few weeks. We'll be looking at these together during your child's conference time. If you're not already connected to Seesaw, please let me know so I can help you sign up!

We are working hard on two digit multiplication. We will take the Chapter 3 assessment on October 23rd. Please take some time this week to check in on homework with your student. Continued practice of the work we're doing in class is very beneficial. If your child is having difficulty with homework, please jot a note on the sheet so I can help!

We took the Life Science unit assessment yesterday. We will begin our exciting Earth Science unit later this week!

We loved meeting Grace Lin yesterday! She is a dynamic author who shared her talents with us. We learned that she uses many stories from her real life and she took us through a step by step process to draw a lucky dragon!
