Another awesome week in 4th grade! We started our Science unit on matter and ended the week making oobleck. I added some photos to the link below. The kids are rocking double digit multiplication. The more practice the better. They are writing their homework out daily and practicing being responsible for their assignments. PLEASE give your kid a pep talk to keep up the great work this week. We are almost to Thanksgiving break and I know the week before a break can be challenging for some of our young friends to stay focused. I know they can do it! Almost there!
ANY missing work not turned in on the due date will be a home communication so that parents are aware of these missing assignments and can help them be more successful in this area. Just a reminder a home communication card (HCC) is not a punishment but a tool to help us all stay on the same page. If a student receives more than 5 HCC or needs to address a behavioral problem their will be further consequences.
-READ! Students need 5 AR points per quarter.
Word of the week: Thankful
(if your student whispers the word to me MONDAY or TUESDAY they can earn a class ticket)
-Any papers that say 'correct and return' have 3 days to return for additional credit
NEW BUTTON-Below you will see a button that says 'Service' these are what we like to call formational learning experiences for the class this year. These opportunities are to help students engage in activities to see the world around them and how they can impact it for God.
Mark your calendar we will be going to San Luis Obispo Mission January 24th (We will be revisiting our study of Missions this quarter) and
Columbia February 25th (more details to come)
***All parents can join for these two educational trips***
Book Report DUE Tuesday December 3rd
Students have brought home a 'menu' of types of book reports they may choose to complete. They must pick their book and type of report by Friday November 8th. Your signature is required on their selection slip because although it is their report they may need some assistance depending on the type of report they choose. I want to make sure parents and students approve of the type of report they sign up to do.
My deep hope is that we would grow in wisdom as we discover more about God and our role in His story.
