Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone!

I did not assign homework over the holiday.  If your child has homework to complete, it is because it was something that is late.  However, some students did ask for homework, so I gave them a couple of Thanksgiving math papers to review coordinates and subtraction.  Neither is actual homework.  If they don't do it, that's fine.

The principal has asked that the students make sure to spend some time on Study Island and Compass Learning.  I would also like to remind the students that November Book It! ends on Sunday.  They can bring back their calendars on Monday.  I will have the December calendars then.

The most important thing is that Progress Reports are coming home today.  Please sign them and have your child return them on Monday.

Thanks for everything and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone!

I have not assigned any homework for the week end.  Please remember to have your child read for Book-It! and Robin's Readers.  Also, I would love for each student to do at least an hour of Compass Learning math or reading over the week end.  (Maybe a half hour each for Saturday and Sunday? )

Thanks and have a great week end!

Important Dates to Remember:

• Tomorrow, November 21, is the Fourth Grade Spelling Bee.  It takes place at 9:00 in the Commons if you would like to attend.

Thanks for everything!

Hi everyone!

Homework is a little different today.  Students will have different homework assignments depending on their work in class.  Some students were able to finish everything.  Others were not.  Please check their agenda books to see exactly what your child has to do this week end:

Science:  Vertebrates Crossword Puzzle

Reading: "The Golden Fish" comprehension packet

Math: TP 8-6 (This was only assigned to those students who got too many wrong on the workbook page.)

Thursday, November 13

Tonight's Homework:

• Math:  TP 8-4
• Study for Spelling and GROW quiz

Don't forget, if you are looking for something for your child to do, get them on Compass Learning.  :-)  That would be the biggest help since it targets areas where this is a gap.

I want to thank everyone again for your support this year.  I really appreciate your help.

Wednesday, November 12

Tonight's Homework:

• Spelling:  Unit 12 workbook pages (Not the Writer's Workshop)
• Math:  TP 8-2

Monday, November 10

Tonight's Homework:

• Spelling Sentences: Unit 12
• Math: TP 8-1

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for conferences last week!  I enjoyed meeting with all of you.  Don't forget, if you ever have any questions or concerns to please communicate with me.

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day which means there is no school.  Please make sure your child completes their homework.

Thanks for everything!

Conference Time!

Hi everyone!

I want you to know that I did not assign any homework for the long week end.  I am asking that you have your child do at least 30 min of Compass Learning and 30 min. of Study Island over the week end.  I am also expecting each child to read, read, read!!  :-)

I look forward to meeting with you tonight and tomorrow.  Parent/Teacher conferences are always one of my favorite times of the year.  As you know, communication is very important to me.  Again I ask that you try to be on time for your appointment.  The time is very short and other parents will be waiting.  At the conference, expect to receive a folder filled with ISAT scores from last year, MAP test scores from this fall, the report card, work samples, and other important information.  Unfortunately, we will not have time to go over everything, but if you have any questions after looking through it, you can always schedule another meeting.

Thanks for everything you have done to support me this year.  I have definitely felt the help.  :-)  See you soon!

Fall Fest Fun!

Hi everyone!

Since the fall fest is today after school, I only assigned Spelling for homework.  Students need to complete the workbook pages for Unit 11 and study for the test.

If you really want them to have math practice, have them do 30 min on Compass Learning.  That would be great!

Reminders:

• The Fall Fest starts today at 4 PM and ends at 6 PM.  Students must be accompanied by an adult family member.  
• Parent/Teacher Conferences begin tomorrow evening.  Please make sure to stick to your assigned time.  If you are late, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to meet with you.  Feel free to text me on the Dojo or call the school office if you will be late or won't be able to make your appointment.  Thanks!
• There is no school on Friday due to Parent/Teacher Conferences.
