October 5-October 9

Thank you for the quick response with extra snacks and cups!! The kids have seemed more prepared! We have finished with NWEA testing in reading and math. Your child will share his/her information and goals at conference time. I decided to wait to conference with you until November. I feel that I am still getting to know the kids academically so having more time with them is important. When choosing a time, please know that the conferences will be virtual and your child will need to be present to lead the conference. Of course, if the November days don't work for you, please let me know and we can find another time that works. Click here to sign up!

We will be showing videos and talking about the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, in social studies. All materials are appropriate for kids and will be referred back to throughout the year. Just wanted to give you a heads up so you can continue the discussion at home!

  Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing break with your families. The snow sure was amazing on Christmas and fun to play in throughout the week. We will be jumping right in where we left off! We are working on comparing and contrasting in reading groups, finishing up unit 3 on fractions in math, learning about political scientists or government in social studies, and learning how our bodies make us human machines in science. Please remember that every Monday the Positivity Project shirts should be worn and also remember snow gear(with a change of shoes) for recess. Kids will go outside twice a day, so they need to have appropriate clothing! Please let me know if you are in need of any snow pants, boots, hats, or gloves. Thanks and have a great week!!

     I can't believe that we will already be starting the 3rd trimester in a week. The kids have been working hard to correct any weak areas before their report cards go home the week of March 8th. Please check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 400s. If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 5th grade. Also, Lexia scores for 4th grade are 16-18. At this point, they should be close to or on level 18. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful. If kids need to replace the 20 minutes of reading at home with IXL or Lexia, I am ok with that. Another idea may be to work on the IXL or Lexia in the morning, especially on Wednesday late starts.        With the weather starting to warm up, kids may need to bring different clothing for recess. The morning recess tends to be colder and the ice was slippery this week. By the afternoon, they want to take their coats off and run around in t-shirts! I have asked the
