Working in groups while exploring insulators and conductors of electricity.
Dear Parents,
It was a full week of learning! In science, we learned that electricity travels in a complete circuit. We also learned the difference between conductors and insulators. In math, we examined the relationship between multiplication and division. We also learned the organizational structures of nonfiction text in language arts.
The fall library enrichment reading program continues through November 3rd. Your child needs to read every night and log the different genres of books on their Saddle Up and Read form. Wahoo for a great bunch of readers!
I am thrilled how our class has truly embraced the Denim Drive. Remember to clean out your closets and bring to school new and gently used denim jeans and jackets. What a wonderful way for us as a grade level to give back to our community.
From our music teacher:
It is recorder time for 4th graders in music. Please help me in encouraging your students to be responsible for bringing their recorder and book to school on Music days! An "Essentials Schedule" is posted on my webpage. Just follow the links from the CCE website.
First days with recorders are as follows:
Mrs. Terry's class - Wednesday, October 11th
Mrs. Babbitt's class - Thursday, October 12th
Mrs. Blaschke's class - Friday, October 13th
Mrs. Christie's class - Monday, October 16th
If your student forgets his/her recorder, please do NOT bring it to school for them. The office personnel will not deliver recorders to classrooms. I do have sterilized "loaner" recorders for them to use, however, it is always preferable for them to use their own instrument.
Students are expected to practice their recorders at home. Thank you for your supports and for your patience with your instrumentalist!
Mrs. Martin
