Hello Parents!
We are moving right along.....here are a few updates and notes.
Our lunch time has changed from 12:02 to 12:00. Not a big change, but thought you should know.
We will follow the SIX day rotation schedule until further notice. There will not be a SUPER SPECIAL day 7 at this time. Please make sure your child wears tennis shoes on PE days.
Scholastic book orders are due on Sept. 9th. You can order on-line with the activation code.
Open House is scheduled for Sept. 6th. I look forward to seeing everyone!
Academic Notes....
Math-Chapter 1 test on Tuesday. We will then begin chapter 2 on estimating and rounding.
Social Studies-Continue our unit on economics.
Reading-We will start our center rotation this week. Students will complete various comprehension, writing and grammar activities throughout the week. We will integrate science, social studies and health during our reading rotation. Students should have their chapter book at school every day.
Spelling-Sort 2 words go home every night to study. Spelling assessments are on Friday of each week.
Grammar-Compound subjects and complete and simple predicates will be our focus this week.
Science-Continue our unit on the water cycle.
Health-Nutrition and a balanced diet.
I am pleased with the transition the students have made to fourth grade. I am sure they have seen a big change from the previous year. One thing we are still working on is the amount of talking during instructional time. I know they will continue to improve on this as they become more accustomed to the daily routine and my expectations. I am sure this is going to be a great year.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am always available to meet with you to discuss any concerns you may have.
I will have all the information on how to access student books on-line during Open House.
Have a great week:)
