What is a current event report and the Discovery Quest?
Each week I will send home a note announcing who will be presenting a
current event report for the week. Your student may report on a subject we
are studying in class or can report on a special interest topic. Topics
will have guidelines and a point system for grading. Students may look
online, read the paper or may take some information from a magazine.
Discovery quests are questions that your student will research and tell us
about. A set of questions is included in the packet. Each child will
present once a week. Presentations are graded on poise, confidence and
information to the audience.

What do you do for cooking projects?
Each Friday we cook! Each of the projects are kid friendly and offers the
student a chance to pour, measure, slice, count, mix and taste!!!
Our supply list is always posted on our door. I will always try to make our
cooking projects sugarfree when possible.
--------------------------------------
What is the LifeSkill and Student of the month awards?
Each month I choose one student for each award. LifeSkill winners have
lunch with the Principal and Student of the Month winners are recognized at
our bi-monthly award assembly. Letters will go home explaining each award
in depth. I will contact you with that information if your child is
recognized!
--------------------------------------
What are the State Standards for Fourth Grade?
Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of
every
student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students
should
acquire at each grade level. At Primary Plus we not only meet the State
Standards but exceed them. To view all the standards, visit this website...

It is being updated to include our new Technology
program. Stay tuned!

What is the Spelling Contract?
Spelling contracts will assist your student in practicing their words each
week. Your child needs to complete 3 different ways to practice their
words. Please initial the contract and return all the work on Friday.
