Week 13

I enjoyed meeting and visiting with many of you at conferences this past Friday.  We appreciate your support of your child's education!

This week in projects we have continued to work hard on our Nevada: Inside and Out project.  We are hoping to finish the maps early this week and have presentations soon.  We will be getting more information out to you as we get closer to finishing.  The students are excited to share their maps with you.

On December 21st we will be having a class Christmas party in the afternoon.  We will be doing secret Santa gifts for each other.  I sent the papers home on Wednesday of who they have.  There is a $5 limit to make it fair for everyone and if you aren't able to provide a gift please let us know so we can make sure we have something for everyone.  Please bring in gifts by Wednesday, December 20th.  We will be having popcorn and hot chocolate while we watch a movie.  If you have any questions, please email me.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Reading: This week we used evidence based terms to answer questions after reading a fable. We also finished reassessing their reading levels. On Thursday, we took a spelling test. If you child received a 1, please be sure to sign and return the test so I know you have seen it. There will be no spelling again until after Winter Break, at which time, ALL 4th graders will be getting spelling/vocabulary lists. Next week, student will be making inferences about two Pixar short films, and will cite specific evidence to support their inferences.  Students will be having a Latin/Greek test on 12/07/17.

Homework: Read 20 minutes everyday. Study Latin/Greek words for assessment  (assessment 12/7).
