Newsletter 1.5
ELA
Last week, we finished reading Love That Dog and identified what inspired Jack to write poetry. Next week, we will begin researching the poets we have learned about and identify what inspired them to write poetry.
Math
Last week, we finished our Cluster 2 Unit which focused on multiples, factors, prime, and composite numbers, and area and perimeter. We will start Cluster 3 next week and will focus on using various strategies, including mental math, to add and subtract multi-digit numbers. See the attachment to see how you can support your child at home.
1st Quarter Conferences
1st Quarter Conferences are approaching. Please follow the link to choose a time for your conference. If none of the available times work for you, please let me know, and we can arrange a different time. I ask that you schedule your time at least two days prior to a conference so I can prepare. Please be on time because conference schedules are tight. I look forward to meeting with you to talk about all the amazing goals your child is achieving!
Open House
Please join us on Monday, August 26 at 5:30 pm for 4th grade, Tracks 1 and 4, Open House. We will be presenting and discussing fourth grade curriculum, field trips, EOG scores, grading, and classroom and school expectations. It is not necessary for students to attend as this is an informational meeting for parents. This session will be more in depth than our meet and greet at the beginning of the year. Open House will be held in our classroom. We look forward to seeing you!
AIG Nominations
The first semester AIG nomination for consideration window is open. If you would like us to consider your child for the Academically or Intellectually Gifted program, please email me this week before our window closes on August 16th. We will review your child's previous CogAT/IOWA and EOG data, as well as current work samples, learning behaviors and classroom motivation and interest to determine if there is a need to refer your child for AIG evaluation. If a referral for evaluation is not warranted at this point in time, please consider nominating your child again during the second semester window, which will open in November 2019.
