Math News

This week we continued to prepare for our standardized test.  We will continue working on some extra topics next week after our Science test is completed on Tuesday.  We will be doing some fun end of the year math projects. Please encourage your child to do as many topics in ALEKS before next Friday.  I will be giving out class awards the last week of school for the most topics mastered, the most hours spent on ALEKS, etc. Just something fun to showcase students to each other.

Please have your child practice their multiplication facts.  There are many games on www.multiplication.com that they would love to play that will help them.  We will have a multiplication fact test on Monday, May 21st.  This will be a basic facts timed test.  Students will need to be able to answer 50 questions in 1 ½ minutes.  (They have done this before when we were making teams for March madness.)  

Science News

Next week we will be taking the SC PASS Science test on Tuesday.  Please have your child review Study Island Lessons over the weekend so they are better prepared for the test.  We will be reviewing on Monday using some fun games. I have also added several Quizlet games to Google Classroom.  Students can use these to study for Science as well. They can use the game mode after they have used the flash card mode to study.

After testing, we will have some fun Science projects and experiments that we will complete in class.

The fourth grade awards ceremony will be held Thursday, May 31st at 1pm.  All students who have earned honor roll all 4 nine weeks will receive an award and be recognized.  Also any students participating in any clubs will be recognized.
