Author Visit: Friday, February 6th - We are excited to have author, Julie Stiegemeyer here to discuss the writing process and her book Under the Baobab Tree. Check out the awesome displays the children have done to honor our author! Your child's TADS account will be charged $3 for this in-house field trip.
On Friday, February 13th, the fourth grade will travel to Gray Summit for a Maple Syrup field trip at the Shaw Nature Reserve. This is an outstanding experience--all outside. Please check the weather and make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather on that day. It is a free dress day because we completed the 2-2-1-1-5 Challenge for the Dinner Auction so no need for uniforms that day.
Students will all need a snack, a lunch and a drink for the trip. They get very hungry stomping through the woods.
At 2:00 p.m. we will have a class Valentine's Day party. Students are welcome to bring Valentine's for their classmates if they wish.
Math: In Math this week the students will complete lessons 59-Inv. 6 and have a Test Thursday, February 5th.
You may also want to download the book to your own device.
Reading: In reading our theme this week is Man's Best Friend. Students will be reading "Dear Mrs. LaRue". This week they will be focusing on generating questions from the text as well as continued reading comprehension.
We will be using books all year long from our online program Tumblebooks.
Please take advantage of using Tumblebooks in your home too.
