Dear Parents,
We have had another great week in fourth grade! The flu has not invaded our classroom, and we remain vigilant! Thank you again for sending in extra boxes of tissues. I think we are good to go for a while!
I have added some pictures of the students working hard on retelling their choice of traditional literature in the form of a drama. Students are working in teams to write their dramas, and they are also using the Comics Head app to illustrate their dramas on the iPads. I can’t wait to see the finished products!
EDUCATION GALAXY:
Students will be switching to the reading portion of E.G. instead of math for homework next week. All students will take the pre-test Monday. They will follow the same directions as the math to find their unique learning path for reading. Of course, students can continue working on the math!
VALENTINE’S DAY:
Students can bring their Valentine cards and decorated box starting on Monday. Please be sure each card is addressed to individual students.
NIGHT WRITES:
February Night Writes have been explained and are due on February 26th. Students should consult my “glows and grows” for improvement. Writing a well written expository composition is a skill that will serve your child well in the future. Thank you for your support on this.
BOB BULLOCK MUSEUM FIELD TRIP:
Our trip to the museum in March 1st. This is the only field trip that chaperones are necessary. Thank you to Mrs. Patterson for volunteering. I still need at least 4 more parents to volunteer. If you are interested, please let me know and I will send you more information. Thank you for your consideration.
