                                           Happy Labor Day! 

First Week & Daily Procedures: We had an exciting and successful first week of school! It's been wonderful getting to know your child and learning procedures to help build a stronger classroom community! Each student should have a "good fit" book in his or her backpack. 4th graders are encouraged to read for 20 minutes or more at home each night and bring their home folders back and forth between home & school daily. This is a wonderful way to continue the conversation with your child about what is needed for school each day.

Supplies: Thank you for the classroom donations! We have a long year, and your kindness is appreciated. Currently, we are all set! Thank you for sending a snack and water bottle each day. We do have some food allergies, so our classroom is an allergy AWARE classroom. Thanks for your help to keep everyone safe & healthy!

Show & Tell: So far 16 students have shared their special items with the class to get to know each other better. Look at these smiles! If you don't see your child, he or she can bring the item to share on Tuesday. 

The Best Day Photo: All students are encouraged to bring a photo showing themselves doing something they love to do(you can email the photo to me and I will print it if that's easier) I made a bulletin board that says, " I had the best day with you today!" and I have been putting each child's photo of him or her having the "best day" around the bulletin board. Please have your child in the photo! Let me know if you don't have time and you'd like me to take a photo at recess instead. We have many photos already, but we definitely need more. Thanks for your help!

NWEA: Testing will begin on Tuesday, September 3rd.  Students will take the NWEA in math and reading. We will begin testing each day at 9:00. We hope all testing is completed by the end of the week. Please consider not scheduling appointments if possible. Students can bring in gum or mints to have during the test. The results from the tests are beneficial for our teacher team to use to get to know your child as a learner and begin to set learning goals.

                                                              Sarett Nature Center : Parents are welcome to meet us at Sarett Nature Center on Friday at 12:00. Please email me if you plan to attend, so I know how to best split up the kids into hiking groups. You will pay the entrance fee when you arrive. Our tour starts at 12:15. Remember to dress for the weather since we will be hiking! MStep Math: W e will start the test on Tuesday and will finish on Wednesday. Sending gum, mints, or jolly ranchers would be great to wake up their brains. Thank you!   All About Me: Here is the list for the All About Me for the rest of the year. Sorry for the confusion from last week. Some kids were absent so we hadn't discussed the plan together. On their day, kids may bring a show and tell item or photo, share a talent, or bring a home toy....

Track Meet: We are in need of a wagon and volunteer to travel with us at the high school on Friday for the track meet.

Makeups will be the following Wednesday for each test.  Math:  Before break, we completed unit 6/lessons 17-21. This week we will work on lessons 22-24, which completes the chapter. We will also practice and take the unit 6 assessment. Extra practice using the IXL textbook is available for those who struggle. Your child can also front load and work on the upcoming lessons to feel more confident in class! Music:  Remind your child to bring his/her recorder to school on Thursdays for music.  All About Me!...
