Newsletter April 21st-25th

Robotics Field Trip: Friday, April 25. we will journey to the Edward Jones Dome to watch the World Championship Robotics Competitions.  It will be so exciting to see complex machines which were built by students performing according to their design.  It will be very crowded there and for safety sake we need several chaperons to go with us.  We want very small groups this day, so if you can arrange your day please volunteer to help out. 
Children will need a lunch and drink for this very exciting day.  
Please let your child's homeroom teacher know if they will be needing a sack lunch from school by Wednesday.

Math: Lessons 81-84.

Reading: For the next few weeks the 4th graders have selected from list of eight books, one chapter book they would like to read in a Reading Workshop.  There will be questions from each chapter while working on predicting skills throughout the book.  Students will meet in a small group with me to work on reading skills.  

This year we are blessed to have access to Tumblebooks.
