We survived the first full week of school! Phew!
We did a lot this week. We took our first chapter math test, MAP Reading assessment, Benchmark Reading Assessment...and the list goes on. Your fourth grader might need some rest and relaxation after this action-packed week.
The Hearts of Gold game to support the Children's Advocacy Center is on September 28th. We like to encourage students to think of a way they can work to raise money to donate to this worthy cause. Some are already talking about having lemonade stands or collecting pop cans. You can purchase a Hearts of Gold t-shirt for $12. See below for days to buy!
Please begin to collect 2 liter bottles for the Ecocolumn project! Students were shown an example of what to bring and how to label in class this week. Students will keep these in their lockers until September 26th. If you are available to volunteer to help with making Ecocolumns, please use this SIGN UP GENIUS to let me know! THANK YOU!
We will collect Box Tops September 26-28. Thanks for your participation!
Thank you to all who placed a September Book Order! The books should arrive sometime next week.
This week in fourth grade:
We are continuing to read The Tiger Rising together and are growing grounded and significant ideas about the characters. Ask your child what is happening in this story and to tell you about some of the characters.
We visited the learning commons and picked out our first books of the year! Please return those books by next Tuesday morning so your child can check out new books! Since we are reading longer books, your child is welcome to renew if they are not finished after one week.
Some students volunteered to step up as lunchroom helpers while the fifth graders went to camp! This is a great preview for an important job next year!
We will begin to work on multiplication next week. Please remind your child to take some time to brush up on their multiplication facts! Having these memorized will help greatly with the work that we will be doing!
