4th Grade News - Friday August 27th

Strep in 4A
Stay healthy- we've had strep throat reported in 4th grade. Be on the lookout for symptoms and keep your child home if they are ill.

Seeking Room Moms
Would you be interested in being a room mom this year? Our 'queen' room mom, Tricia Bingham is looking for 2 volunteers from each homeroom. If interested, you may contact her at 389-2661 or seabound1959@aol.com.

Thank You!
Many thanks to those who have so generously donated to our classroom by purchasing a wish list item. If you're feeling left out and still wish to contribute, consult the boxes next to our classroom doors. We are very appreciative of your help!

Math News
We are working on place value as we kick off our studies this year. If you'd like to help, encourage your child to practice reading larger numbers. See if they can read to you correctly numbers like 1,345,014 or 876,405,204. Next week we will be making place value bookmarks to help with this.

Language Arts News
We are working on a variety of reading, writing, and spelling skills. This week we took a spelling test over sight words to see your child's ability level. Next week we will take a Treasures Placement Reading test, and we are working on a variety of writing and grammar skills. For a writing activity next week, your child will need a photo of themselves by Wednesday September 1st. Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Have a great week! Check back daily for the homework assignments!

HOMEWORK - Week of 8/25

It's hard to believe summer is over! Welcome back. I hope you're 4th grader is enjoying the first few days of school and communicating to you about the fun year we have planned.

HOMEWORK for the week - Cover text books (if you have something- it just helps protect them. No need to make a special purchase), and find a chapter book to keep at your desk for SSR. Sometime next week students will need to bring a photo to school of themselves doing something (not a portrait photo). They will need these for Language Arts by Wednesday September 1st. Thanks!

Math HW Thursday August 26th - 'Ways we use Math' worksheet

Reminders: If your child has not yet purchased these school supplies, they will need to bring these in by Monday: 2 composition books and 2 pocket folders with three-prong inserts. We will be using these in Language Arts starting next week. Thanks!
