May 20 - May 24, 2019

 

Thank you everyone for visiting our classroom for Open House! The children were so proud sharing their best work with all of our families! I am so proud of them! They have learned so much in fourth grade! It was a wonderful evening for everyone!

 

We will resume with the CAASPP Math test on Friday, May 24. Please remind your child to eat well and be well rested for our test on Friday. Testing begins first thing in the morning, so please help your child arrive to school on time.

 

We will have spelling 7.3 this week AND next week. I am allowing the children two weeks to study for the test because of our field trip to Coloma on Thursday, and because of the Memorial Day Holiday on May 27. You will find the words and activities for unit 7.3 on Spelling City. Students will take the spelling test on Thursday, May 30 in class.

 

Due to the upcoming CAASPP tests in math on May 24 and on May 29, I highly recommend the students review math concepts on Think Central/Go Math under “My Library”, click on “the lady in the red hat”, and find skill sets to practice. Students can review prior skills, as well as find new concepts we have not yet covered including measurement, area and perimeter! Class Hero is also available to reinforce Geometry.

 

Red Reading Folders are due every Friday. Students should remember to read and record their daily entries in their red reading folder and have them signed by a parent. We had four students forget their red folders this week, so they will need to return the red reading folder on Monday. Please ask your child if this includes them.

 

Students will also need to return their Field Trip permission slip to Coloma, and their End-of-the-Year Fun Day Contract on Monday if they haven’t turned it in already.

 

We have another very full week planned! The garden is scheduled for Tuesday after lunch, weather permitting. Please have your child wear shoes appropriate for the garden on Tuesday.

 

We will go to the James Marshall Gold Discovery Site on Thursday. The bus will leave promptly at 8:15 a.m. or sooner if possible. It is a long, windy drive and we want to have as much time to tour the park as possible. It is an incredible place to visit! I can hardly wait!
