Dear 4A:
Wow, our last week of the quarter! Remember Wednesday - Friday will be early release days; the students will be dismissed at 12:30.
We will be having our Robin Hood party on Thursday and there are still some spots open to volunteer: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094ba4a82ba31-robin1
Please make sure you sign up for the parent/teacher conference for December 3rd or 4th. Here's the link http://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b044aafac28a46-parentteacher
This week we will finish Robin Hood with a test on Friday. This assessment will be an essay. On Monday, my math class will have a test and the rest of the week will be review. We also finish Chinese history with a test on Wednesday. There will be no Spalding this week : )
When the students come back from the break, they will be reciting "Paul Revere's Ride". Please make sure to help your student memorize the poem by then.
Remind your student to get in any missing work or corrected papers.
Have a good week!
Mrs. Gore

Dear 4A:
Here are some dates to be aware of:
December 15th: The fourth grade class will be having a Middle Ages feast and activity day. Please look for a volunteer sign-up in the next few days.
December 14th-16th: The last Wednesday-Friday before break will be early release at 12:30. Please make arrangements for you child.
December 19th-January 4th: Winter Break
January 3rd-4th: Mandatory Parent/Teacher Conferences. I will be sending you a link on Monday to sign up for a time to meet.
January 5th-6th: The students will be reciting "Paul Revere's Ride". You are welcome to come and watch your child, just let me know (when the date gets closer) that you want to be present and I'll let you know the time frame.
Speaking of "Paul Revere's Ride", as we've been practicing in class, I've noticed that many are not keeping up with the required stanzas. Please continue putting in the effort, before the break, to memorize this poem. I do not want this to add any stress to you during the holidays. I have the students write "memorize poem 10 mins/day" in their agendas each day.
Academics for the week:
Test on Chapters 7-12 of Robin Hood on Wednesday.
Test on Magnetism and Electricity on Friday.
The students have already gotten the study guides for both of these tests.
Final typewritten 5 paragraph essay due Wednesday.
We are continuing with Chinese history in history and measurements in math.
Please have your child complete any missing work and correct any tests/assignments that they did not do well on.
Have a great week!

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!

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!!
