Thank you to everyone that helped us make the fall party a success. The kids a great time and I can't wait for them to come in tomorrow and see their pumpkins hanging from the ceiling.
This week.... Math- We will be taking our Lesson 4 assessment on Wednesday and Thursday. The kids have been working really hard on their 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. They will be bringing home some review sheets to help them practice on Monday and Tuesday. I would suggest going over those each evening to help them prepare. Social Studies- We are continuing on with our study of Lewis and Clark and their journey. The students are making a journal as they go along on their journey with Lewis and Clark. They are doing a great job adding detail and pictures to their entries. Writing- Students just finished up their personal narrative writing pieces last week. They did a great job and I will be giving them to you at parent teacher conferences. We will being moving into opinion writing this week. Leader In Me- We are continuing to focus on Habit 4 this week....Think Win-Win This week is Red Ribbon Week and we will have daily dress up days if your student chooses to participate Monday- Western Wear Day Tuesday- Wear Red Wednesday- PJ Day Thursday- Crazy Hair Day Friday- Wear your Tiger Wear Tiger Pride Assembly this Friday at 2:30.

Fall party this Friday. Also, Friday is a half-day with dismissal at 12:30. Please send in the items that you signed up to bring for our fall party by Tuesday 10/17. Spelling: We will be doing Unit 7 this week. Math: We are continuing on in Unit 4 with 2 digit by 2 digit multiplication. This is completely new for most students but they are hanging in there and doing well. Some students are not getting their work done in class so they are bringing home some of their homework problems. Students typically have about 30-40 minutes of class time to complete their assignment. Social Studies: We started studying Lewis and Clark last week. We will be continuing to learn about their journey west thru the next two weeks. Students will be completing a journal as if they were either Lewis or Clark on this trip. Writing: This week we wrap up their unit on personal narratives. Students will be writing their narrative prompt this week which will show what they learned about this type of story and the writing process. Next week: We will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Students are not required to dress up daily but it is a fun thing for them to do if you have the items at home. Here are the theme days next week. Upcoming Events:
Parent Teacher Conferences: Week of Oct 30 - Nov 2 Tiger Pride: Friday October 27 2:30PM Fall Break: November 3-6 NO SCHOOL I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend it was beautiful outside. It was great to see everyone at Open House. Those of you that were not able to attend, I will be sending out parent teacher conference signups this week. This way you can schedule a time to come in and meet with me about what your child has accomplished so far this year.
This week: Hayride- We have been invited by the high school to go on a hayride over to their school on Monday Oct 9 at 12:45. Due to limited space on the hayride there is not room for parents to attend this event with us. I will be sure and post pictures on the DOJO though. School pictures are this Tuesday October 10. We will take our pictures first thing in the morning before the kids have specials. Fall Party and early dismissal Friday October 20. We will be having our class party from 11-12:15 that day. We will be having pizza that day for lunch so if you wouldn't mind sending in $2 to cover your child's pizza that would be great! I had 4 parents ask to be involved in planning the class parties so they are already working on some wonderful ideas. I will be in touch about any possible things they might need. Spelling this week is Unit 6 and can be accessed at https://www.spellingcity.com/users/britnicoffey I will be out of the building on Tuesday for meetings with all of the 4th grade teachers in the district. Have a great week! Another great week in 4th grade last week.....
Math- Students will take their math test in 2 parts this week. They will take their first half on Monday and finish up the test on Tuesday morning. This is a long test, which is why we felt it was necessary to split it up. Please encourage you student to look over their study guide they brought home. If they can do those problems, they will do great on the assessment. Social Studies - Students finished up their Native American research and will be presenting their slideshows and tribe artifacts they created to the class. Thank you for allowing your students to bring in supplies to create those. I think you will be impressed by their creativity. These slideshows and artifacts will be on display at Open House. Writing - We will begin writing our personal narratives at the end of this week. We made timelines last week after reading the book, The Hundred Penny Box, and students will look back at their timeline for an idea for their story. Ask your students about the book, they seemed to really enjoy the thought behind it. We might even end up with a penny box in our classroom next week ;) Reading - We started reading groups last week and students were given a chapter book on their level. We have been focusing on reading is thinking strategies and ways we can visualize, predict, make connections and ask questions as we read to better understand what is happening in the story. Open House - I hope you can all make it out to Open House on Tuesday October 3 from 6-7PM. The book fair will be open and students will have their Native American work on display in the classroom. Upcoming Dates: Open House October 3 6-7PM Picture Day October 10 Fall Party October 20 - school dismissed at 12:30 Tiger Pride October 27 at 2:30 |
