Please check your child's planner for the dates when their required reading books are due.  At least 2 books will be required every two weeks.  They may choose any chapter book within their reading level.  At the completion of every two books, please initial your child's reading log.  Thanks.

Hurray!!!!!  Grades are now online, and your child will be bring home his/her SECRET/ PRIVATE # in the Monday folder.  Please record this number in a secure location.  Grades will be updated approximately every 2 weeks.  

Our new marking period has begun, and the children should start doing a lot better now that they know how to "handle" the work load in 4th grade!  In Math, we will be working on long division, measuring angles, geometry, and 2D figures. PLEASE continue to work on the multiplication facts so that division is easier for your child.

In Social Studies, we will be studying some explorers and go on to colonization.

In Science, we will be studying simple machines, force and motion, light, and sound. 

We're going to make this a great marking period-- Many children are feeling so good about the results of their hard work.  I will continue to encourage, (hopefully) motivate, and assist any and every child in need.  They constantly remind me to wear shirts/sweaters with "sleeves" so that I can pull out new tricks and easier ways to do things.  That won't be a problem with colder weather coming!
