Newsletter December 17th-21st

Math:  This week we will be completing lessons 53-55 with a final math test for quarter two on Friday.  I am posting the videos to the math lessons on the blog and MyKoob for the students to learn from in a flipped classroom setting.  I am able to work with each individual child to check for understanding and they are able to start a good portion of their homework in class.

Reading: Our theme this week is "Bright Ideas."  We will be learning about the lives of Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin and how they made the world a "brighter" place.  The students have prepared Vocabulary Presentations showing they know how to use the words we are reading this week.


Art: We finished Van Gogh "The Starry Night."  They should be ready to go next week, they look amazing!  Christmas time brings our crazy schedules, Monday we have a field trip and Friday we have our classroom Christmas parties.  We continue learning about artists after the new year!


Character Development: This week we discussed expressing concern for others or showing someone else that you care about them either with words or actions.

Scholastic Book Orders:  If you would like place a book order please us the link on the right hand side of the blog or go to Scholastic Books

Field Trip: Monday, December 17th we will be doing a servant project to Little Sisters of the Poor singing Christmas Carols and giving them a Christmas gift.  After the trip to Little Sisters we will be taking a short tour and receive a special treat from Crown Candy Kitchen.  


Middle School Basketball Game: Tuesday, December 18th the 4th graders will visit the Middle School for a tour of classes, lunch and activities then we will cheer on the CCLS Boys Basketball team play St. Charles.  We will leave around 11:45 a.m. and return before pick up Tuesday afternoon.
