Dear 4A:

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I had a restful and happy time with friends and family and I was reminded of how thankful I am for each of you and your children!

This week we will start a unit on Chinese history and a unit on measurement in math. We will continue in Robin Hood in literature and electricity in science. Please have your child bring in a D cell or 9-volt battery. 

**Please continue helping your child memorize "Paul Revere's Ride". I'm encouraging each student to put in 10 minutes a day. I would like them to have it memorized by the time we go on winter break, so they can just work on the presentation and hopefully give you a break, too.**

The administration has begun a new policy. If your child has missing work, you will get an email from Jupiter (our electronic grading system) once a week. Please encourage your child to make up any missing assignments. Let me know if you have any questions or if you need anything clarified.

Once again, thank you for entrusting your precious child with me!
Mrs. Gore

Hi again 4A parents:

Your children performed so well in their Fall Concert. It was a joy to watch them!

Even though this is a short week, it is pretty full. We have Wednesday-Friday off for Thanksgiving.

We are finishing off our study of the Middle Ages with a test tomorrow (Monday). Next we will study China in history.

On Tuesday, we will have a test on Chapters 1-6 in Robin Hood and also a test in math.

Please keep up with memorizing the Paul Revere poem. Try to put 10 minutes a day into it and it will be more manageable.

If your child has missing assignments or assignments that need to be corrected, please have them turn it in ASAP.

Keep working on math facts!

I hope you have a great time with friends and family this Thanksgiving!!

I feel like this quarter is flying by. It is packed with a lot of things. 

Important dates:

No school on Friday, November 11 due to Veteran's Day

Fall Concert: November 17th 

A Note From the Music Teachers: Concert Attendance

**Attendance at the upcoming Music Concert is MANDATORY. Please remember that students are expected to stay for the entire concert performance. Students' Participation grades for the semester are pending upon them staying for the entire performance. Teachers will not sign a student out until the very end of the concert. If a student is signed out early from the concert, they will receive a deduction in their Participation grade in Music for the semester.**


Academics for the week:
The final Prince Caspian test will be on Tuesday. The chemistry test will be on Friday. The students have their study guides. We will only have 20 spelling words this week : )

We will start Robin Hood on Wednesday. Please have the proper book (as shown in the left margin). 

We will conduct our spelling bee the week of the 14th. There is a resource link on the right side bar.

Please help your student keep up with memorizing "Paul Revere's Ride". 

Remember your student can correct any test for understanding and more points!

Have a great week,
Mrs. Gore
