Math News
The week before Winter Break, we tested on multiplying multi-digit numbers. Tests looked pretty good! They will be sent home this Thursday. This week, we started on Topic 7--multiplying by 2-digit numbers. It would be helpful to have your child work on their fluency as often as possible so that they won’t forget their multiplication facts.
Don’t forget that you can access your child’s text book at www.pearsonsuccessnet.com Their username is their school number id and the password is richland2.
Zearn username: student number Zearn password: benson
Aleks username: (ask your child) Aleks password: aleksmat
Science News
The week before Winter Break, we reviewed all of our astronomy topics so far and ended the week with Astronomy Jeopardy and a test. The tests were taken electronically and I emailed their scores to them over the break. We will be doing some more astronomy this week that includes some type of research project that will be done in class.
Language Arts News
Welcome back parents and students. In ELA and Social Studies our focus will be “cause and effect relationships” Our reading selection is “My Brother Martin” in Treasures. There will be a quiz on this reading selection on Thursday. Students will have a reading log this week that will be due on Monday, January 11, 2016. Students are expected to turn in this assignment on the due date which is noted on the reading log unless the student is absent on Monday. Beginning with the reading log due Monday, if it is turned in late, 5 points will be deducted from the grade for each date that it is late.
Social Studies News
In social studies we are beginning to look at cause of the American Revolution beginning with the French and Indian War. Please remind your student to have their notebook in class each day and keep it updated.
Fourth Grade News
We will be MAP testing this week on Wednesday and Friday. Please make sure your child is well rested and at school on time so that they will not have to do make up testing.
Our Brattonsville field trip was a blast! Everyone had a great time and learned a lot! There are some pictures on the blog--check them out!
Pencil Project
It was a success! Both Mrs. Cave’s and Mrs. Benson’s homerooms earned a hot chocolate party that we will enjoy after Winter Break! Thanks so much for donating so many pencils. They will definitely help out others!
PLEASE, PLEASE! We need your child to have headphones or earbuds in class everyday. We use them every day. They also need them every time we go to the computer lab. Please make sure your child brings them to school everyday.
