Mrs. Goniwiecha's 4th Graders 2020-2021

We will take a math test on partial quotients, measuring angles, and multiplying whole numbers by fractions on Wednesday.  Have a wonderful break!

With the weather warming up, kids may need layers for recess. It's usually much cooler at first recess than the afternoon one. They can also bring games/toys for recess on rainy days. The P2 trait this week is identifying and appreciating the good in others. We will be working extra hard to do this in class. Hopefully, you will be seeing your child make an effort to do this at home too!

We have had a lot of behavior conversations lately. Between the boy/girl feelings starting and a lot of time together, there have been too many conflicts during specials/lunch and recess. I have tried to build a team-building activity into every day, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Please talk to your child about this and ask him/her what he/she can do to make our classroom a safe, positive learning environment.  My last conversation was simply: use kind words and actions at all times.  Since we keep running out of snacks, I have limited our snacks to once a day. I am hoping that everyone at least brings one snack from now on. Eating the snack has been a problem during our learning time anyway due to the masks being off and the distance required. Thanks for making sure your child brings a snack, a charged computer, and a signed planner every day!

We have two new students joining us tomorrow from virtual learning. This will bring our new class total to 24.  Report cards will go home Wednesday or Thursday. Please reach out if you have any questions. As you review the NWEA scores, make sure you celebrate the growth your child has made. The projected spring score is also listed, so we can make goals for the rest of the year.  We watched the movie Inside Out for our paperclip reward. It led to many great discussions about the Positivity Project and Social Emotional Learning!
