Miss Henry's 4th Grade News & Notes
Keeping Parents in the "Know"
Welcome to our SMORE NEWSLETTER!
Just a quick reminder about our agendas:
Ask your child if you can see their agenda. This will allow you to see if they are writing in their agendas every day and it will also allow you to see what we are doing in class. There is a line for parents to sign at the bottom of the agenda page. If you could sign that every night that your child shows you their agenda, that would be a huge help to us and it would start a great conversation about their day.
Thank you for checking out our new and improved newsletter!

Think Through Math
Think Through Math
Think Through Math is an amazing program that works in a way that caters learning to each specific child. Students are encouraged to pass grade level lessons. Once they have passed 30 grade level lessons they become part of the Think 30 Club. It has been designed so that if a student passes 30 lessons they are more likely to pass STAAR. Time spent on these programs will equip students with skills that they may be struggling with and help them get ready for STAAR. We suggest that some time spent on Think Through Math at home will greatly benefit their performance in these subject areas.
