We're on our way!
This year is off to a great start! !
Expectations have been practiced and mastered, supplies have been distributed and are getting used, and learning is starting to happen!
Fourth Grade parent night is scheduled for Monday, September 12, 6-7 pm.
Our first Spirit Stick sale will be Tuesday, September 20th.
Thanks for your support, and we are proud to be a partner in your son/daughter's education.
Math
Science & Social Studies
In Science we have been enjoying some lab time! Through these different labs we are learning the different lab tools needed for safety, but also measuring. We are getting down how real scientists do it by learning the Scientific Method! Jumping into learning physical properties of matter next week!!
Reading & Writing
In Language Arts we are wrapping up lessons on Plot and Theme, as well as Characters and Point of View. We are also working on Plural and Possessive Nouns. We will begin working on the many genres of poetry as student's expand their understanding of how writers use similes and metaphors to enhance their readers' experience.
Since this is a short week, there is no Spelling list this week.
You can help your child by reading 30 minutes every night with them.
***** IMPORTANT INFORMATION****
Due to technical issues within our Skyward program, we will NOT be able to implement the new transportation system safely at this time.
All changes to afternoon transportation will be by phone calls to the front office. This must happen before 2 p.m.
No texts, emails, or written notes will be accepted.
Limit transportation changes.
Utilize our voice mail system and leave a detailed message regarding the change. We MUST have: student name, teacher name, destination physical address, and a return phone number for any questions.
- The office will not return calls to verify we got the voice mail.
Thanks in advance for your help in providing safe and effective transportation for your child.
