First Stanza of Paul Revere’s Ride Due on November 18^th

**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.

Please be diligent in checking in with your student that s/he is doing his or her homework each night. We’ve had too many missing assignments lately and this will affect his or her grades.

Our class collected the most boxtops and won a popcorn party! Way to go 4A!! We are collecting them again for the spring collection.

The fourth grade is also collecting boxed stuffing for our Thanksgiving food drive. The students can bring them into the class and/or they can also be dropped off on the night of the Music Concert

.

Last’s weeks spelling tests looked great. The spelling words are coming along well. The students are making most of their mistakes with the phonograms, so please keep practicing these at home.

We will continue fractions this week in math but we will continue to review division and multiplication. Please review multiplication facts regularly with your child.

In geology we will learn about volcanoes this week.

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. There is a quiz on Tuesday on Chapters 6-10.

The students came up with creative Coat of Arms and some have been placed on the wall in our classroom. We will have a test on Chapters 8, 9, and 12 on Wednesday.

      ****The Usborne eFair will remain open until 11/18 to make purchases online.

      Many families were not able to locate the books they wanted at the fair because of limited quantities so this will be a great way for families to purchase the books they were searching for. If families want to have the books shipped directly to Lincoln for pick up, they will not have to pay shipping costs. This shipping method will take longer than if a parent opts to have them shipped to their home. Here is the link to view the catalog online: d4163.myubam.com
