Week of October 14 - 18

Wednesday, October 16th-Teacher Planning Day.  No School.

We will be setting up times for conferences.  Please look at your time and let me know if it works.  The sooner the better as there are 34 conferences that I need to do.

Conferences-October 24/October 25th.  No school.  Please bring your child to discuss goals and academic/behavior goals.

Week of October 8 - 11

Our classroom received our USA whiteboards and we took our first test on them!  I've never seen kids excited to take a test before.

Geography-New Mexico and Arizona

Math-Please make sure your child is using IXL a few times a week.  Fourth graders MUST have their multiplication facts down.

Reading-Please make sure your child is reading at LEAST 20 minutes a day.

Field Trip-We will be taking a field trip to the Japanese Garden on November 7th.  If you are interested in attending, you must have filled out a background check and have been approved.  This takes some time so please let me know if you would like to attend the trip.

Your child will need a lunch for this as we will be getting back after lunch.

OREGON OVERNIGHT-We are currently trying to talk to all people involved to see if we can attend.  We believe this field trip is great hands on learning, fun and engaging BUT it costs $100.00 per child.  All 4/5 classes would like to attend.  We are currently finding different ways to fund raise and we will be sending a letter home shortly.

Social Studies-We are learning about Colonial Life.  What the New England Colonies were like and how it started.
