We Go to Work
We've Realized that Our Main Job Is To Be Great Students
Fourth Grade Reality Has Finally Hit
It has taken a few weeks for us to get settled and adjusted to our new routines, but things have really started to flow this week. Your students have come to understand the weekly routine and the idea that what they accomplish each day has a direct impact on how much homework they have. If you see something on the website that your child has not written in their agenda, then you can ask them if they finished it in class. (Because they should have if they did not write it down.)
Tomorrow we will have our VA Geography Quiz, followed by our Word Study Quiz on Friday.
Genius Hour - Where Will Your Mind Take You
Last week we launched our first Genius Hour. Students were given a choice of several areas to pursue their interests. Ask your student what they chose and what the next six weeks will look like for them with their project. We will have a gallery walk at the end of the quarter so you can come and see all of their hard work. You may be asked to come assist with your child's group for an hour on a Friday just to have a few additional hands on deck.
