Mrs. Goniwiecha's 4th Graders 2020-2021

We will continue to complete NWEA tests this week. Students reached their big reward so we will plan on celebrating on Friday. They will vote and record what they chose in their planners. Please continue to sign planners nightly and make sure devices come fully charged. Have a great week!

We will begin testing this week. Please make sure that your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a good breakfast every day. It is so important that kids bring charged computers each day. They can also bring gum or hard candy(mints or Jolly Ranchers are perfect) to eat during testing, so please send in what you feel is appropriate for your child. If you are willing to send extra to share, that would be great too! This week we will take math NWEA first and then reading. We will test in the mornings, so please try to avoid absences, tardies, and appointments if possible. Make-ups will be next week. MStep testing will begin May 10th. Thanks for your help!  Monday - P2 shirt, NWEA math, and Art Tuesday - NWEA math and music Wednesday - Late Start, NWEA reading, and Media Center Thursday - NWEA reading and SEL Friday - NWEA make-ups and PE

We will begin NWEA and MStep testing this month. Please try to avoid absences/appointments in the mornings if possible. This is a tentative schedule, but more exact times will be written nightly in student planners. NWEA will start the week of April 26th and MStep will start the week of May 10th for 4th graders. Thanks for your help with this!  As we look ahead to the end of the year activities, we are trying to keep the yearly traditions as much as possible. More information to come. Have a great week!

Welcome back! Hope you all had a relaxing spring break!! We are in the final stretch now. Just a few reminders: computers should come back fully charged every day, all kids need headphones or earbuds, check the weather to make sure kids are dressed appropriately for outdoor recess, and sign planners daily.  Monday - P2 shirts & Art Tuesday - Music Wednesday - Late Start & Media Center Thursday - SEL Friday - PE

We will take a math test on partial quotients, measuring angles, and multiplying whole numbers by fractions on Wednesday.  Have a wonderful break! Monday - Art & P2 shirts Tuesday - Music Wednesday - Late Start & Media Center Thursday - SEL Friday - No School/Spring Break Begins Upcoming Dates: 4/5-4/9 Spring 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!
