Weekend News 8-30-18

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

I hope everyone has a safe and fun long weekend. School will resume on Tuesday. Picture day is Wednesday September 5th! Forms are coming home today. 

We will take our first MAP test next Thursday. The library opens the week of September 10th. Our class will visit on Tuesday mornings.

The School Pay site to pay for field trips/grade level activities is LIVE! Please click the link to https://www.schoolpay.com/ and create an account. There should be a link to pay for 4th grade trips. You also have the option to send a check ($25) to the office.


On Monday I will send home the September Book Order. If you are interested, this is the best time to buy books from Scholastic! This month, our class can earn up to 10,000 bonus points to buy new books for the classroom library. You can order through me with a check or online with our code: HB4N7. More info coming on Monday! 

This week in Fourth Grade:

  • We began Reading Workshop and I am BLOWN AWAY by the students' ability to read intensely for long periods of time. We will continue to build stamina and work on new strategies each day.
  • In math we worked on comparing, ordering, and rounding numbers up to the hundred thousands place value.  We started working in math stations and HW was assigned each night. There will be no homework over the weekend. If you find that it takes your student longer than 40 minutes to complete the homework, please STOP them and I will give assistance in class. 
  • We collected organisms from the playground to live in a classroom habitat. We worked in groups to explore different habitats and will present our findings next week.
