4th Grade Weekly
January 10, 2022
4th Grade Learning is an Adventure!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We hope our 4th grade families had a wonderful break and were able to spend quality time with family and friends! Thank you all for being so kind to to the fourth grade team! Your gifts, holiday wishes, and continued support are amazing! All of us are very fortunate to work in CISD, but we are truly blessed to be at Sally K. Ride!
We are excited to begin the second half of this year and we look forward to seeing lots of growth in our fabulous fourth grade students!
Parents, please be sure your students have all needed supplies in their supply bags. Many students are missing glue sticks, scissors, red pens, and colored pencils, etc.. Also be sure to go through student binders, take out any graded papers, and continue to check them daily. This will help students start off the 2022 year organized and on the right track!
STAAR Practice Tests Online
Parents are encouraged to click on the link below to access the STAAR practice tests online. This is a good way to see what your student will be expected to do in May and to help give students even more practice at home.
Once you click on the link, choose Guest User and click Sign In. You will then be able to click on a drop down menu where you will select your child's grade level and choose from several different previously released STAAR tests.
This would be a wonderful tool over our winter break for those people looking for something educational for their student. It will also be available year round. If you have any questions or difficulty, contact your child's homeroom teacher.
