Today we started week four of fourth grade and we are on a roll now! The kids are really doing well with our routines and procedures and transitioning from one subject to the next.
A few important reminders:
Homework is the same every night (Mon-Thurs): write for at least 10 minutes, read for at least 20 minutes, complete the daily column on the math sheet.
Our PE day is Tuesday, please make sure your child wears sneakers.

Stay Connected to our Classroom...
Each week I will try to share with you questions to ask your child to get them talking about their day. Hopefully this will help keep you more informed about what we are doing and prevent the dreaded "what did you learn at school day?" conversations that are so often met with a "nothing" or "I don't remember". For this week, ask your child:
- What do you think will become of Mary Call and her siblings? (hopefully they can fill you in on our read aloud book, Where the Lilies Bloom)
- What does the word 'difference' mean in math, what is it a clue for you to do?
-Explain a few of the "Appalachian Values" that we are charting in Social Studies, what evidence have you seen of them in books? A few of the values are strong work ethic, dedication to family, and self reliance.
