Weekly Update
Updates:
We had a great first week! We learned rules, routines, and expectations, got to know each other, and had fun with
breaks, lunch, and recess. Next week we will start following the schedule that was sent home with your child on Thursday (yellow sheet).
Another yellow sheet went home on Friday about the 4th Grade Discipline Procedure. Our goal is to create a safe space for all students to learn and succeed by teaching skills they need to make safe, respectful choices. We learned how to appropriately remove ourselves when a classroom break is needed. We also discussed the Behavior Form that will help us process and get back with the class.
We are looking for volunteers the week of September 14th to help with Homecoming Buttons. We will need volunteers to cut out the paper circles and then assemble the buttons. We will start to sell buttons on September 21st, so any help is greatly appreciated. Just let me know what day and time you want to come in. All work is done in the office area.
Starting in 4th grade, students can get doubles at lunch. The first entree is free, but there is a charge for the second (double) entree. Please have a conversation with your child if they are able to have doubles or not. In order to have doubles your student will need money in their lunch account.
Weekly Accomplishments:
Math: We started our Calendar Math. Each day we will be adding money to our calendar. We are trying to figure out if we will have $1,000,000,000 before the end of the school year.
Reading: We started our first Functional Morphology unit. Please click on this link to learn more about Functional Morphology.
Science / Social Studies/Health: We will be working on Homecoming Buttons next week.
