Last week was a wonderful week getting to know each other. This week we are going to start getting used to our daily routine in 4th grade.
Math: We are going to start our math units this week revisiting some things that were covered in 3rd grade. We will start this week with place value, comparing numbers, and writing numbers in multiple forms. Reading: We are going to begin building our reading stamina back up and talk about a fun reading challenge we are going to have in 4th grade this year. Writing: We will be decorating our writer's notebooks this week so if your child would like to bring in supplies to use for their notebook please make sure they bring it to school Tuesday at the latest. We will also be brainstorming some topics that we can refer back to this year for writing assignments. Social Studies: This week we are going to continue to use this time to build community in our classroom with group challenges and teamwork. The students really enjoyed these activities last week. DOJO will begin tomorrow. We talked about this last week and used Friday as a practice day full of reminders for things that would cause them to lose or receive points. Please keep in mind this week is a learning week for them. Lots of points will be given as positive reinforcements and some will probably lose some as they adjust back to school expectations. It should only be alarming if they continue to lose points daily once they get used to our 4th grade expectations. Students will also be bringing home a DOJO calendar starting tomorrow in their Take Home folder. If students get this signed they will receive an extra DOJO point the following morning for being responsible. Signatures are only required once a week in order for them to be paid their DOJO money. Please let me know if you have any questions. We will go over this again in class tomorrow before they bring it home so your student should be able to answer any questions you may have. This year we will have PE on Wednesdays so please make sure your child wears appropriate shoes that day. It's going to be a GREAT week!!
