Weekly Update 1-23-20

Hello Fourth Grade Families,
We have had a week filled with hard work and learning. Tomorrow is the deadline to send in your chaperone form for the Mackinac Island field trip. We will let parents know if they are chosen as soon as the lottery is complete.

We are deep into our unit studying the American Revolution and various subtopics related to the content. Students are working with their groups to create a presentation to share with their class. Next week on Wednesday we will conclude our equivalent fractions unit with the assessment. Look for a study guide to come home tomorrow. The biggest thing most students need practice with is converting fractions to a common denominator. We can do this by finding the smallest multiple that the numbers have in common. Look for a chart explaining how to do this near the bottom of the blog post.

Next Friday is Family Movie Night! I hope to see you in the gym for the live action Aladdin. The movie will begin at 7 pm. 

I can't wait to see all of our fantastic fourth graders who are participating in Frozen Jr! We will attend the school show on February 5th in the afternoon. 

Our class will celebrate Valentine's Day with a party on February 14th. Our party will begin at 2:20 following last recess and go until the end of the school day. Look for more information about this to come home soon!
