*Important Dates*
No school Thursday
and Friday for the Thanksgiving Holiday – I hope everyone enjoys time with
family and friends!
**The students
were handed out the complete poem of Paul Revere’s Ride. Memorizing this is the
fourth grade project that will be recited during project week (January 6-8).
There is a date that each stanza should be memorized by. Please make it a
priority to memorize a couple of lines each day, making it a much easier task
to complete.
They did a great job with the first 15 lines!
Please memorize the
next 15 lines of “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” this week.
We had our popcorn party and extra recess last week for
collecting the most box tops in 4th grade. Way to go 4A! We are
collecting them again for the spring.
The class also did a great job at the music concert. It was
such a joy watching them.
We have a quiz in
math on Wednesday, covering fractions. They will bring home a study guide
on Monday that should help them prepare.
Please review
multiplication facts regularly with your child.
There is a geology
quiz on Tuesday on earthquakes and tsunamis. The students got a study guide
for this on Friday.
We are enjoying Robin
Hood. You may have noticed there is more vocabulary this time. This
book has more terms that we are unfamiliar with so that’s the reason. We also
wanted to give more practice using these words in sentences.
We will continue our study in the Middle Ages with William the Conqueror,
Henry II and Thomas Becket. I’m also looking forward to hearing the extra
credit presentations some of the students have chosen to do this week.
Thank you
so much for the tissues, hand sanitizer and band aids that have come in. It is
much appreciated!
Please clear out the “take
home” folders regularly. The only thing that should be in there is homework to
return and any papers that help with that homework.
