We have two unit exams coming up next week into the following week.
Both of the study guides are up (and have been up) on the study guides page.
Please pay close attention to the math study guide especially!! The fourth grade curriculum does not align very well with the textbook for this unit, so many of the lessons where only partially covered in class. I tried to be VERY specific with regards to what your child is responsible for.
Enjoy your weekend!

A reminder to Aftercare families:
If after school events are cancelled, aftercare ends at 4:30. Please make accommodations to pick them up early.
If school ends early, there is no aftercare. Please be sure that you have a plan in place with regards to where your child will go. They will be placed on their normal bus to go home…unless we have been contacted by you with other plans. (please let me know ASAP- if you prefer to have them go home to someone else’s house)

Now that we have entered January and the second period of the year is in full swing…I would like to announce a small change to our spelling tests.
Students are still required to write their spelling sentences in cursive. The change is with the spelling tests themselves. The students will now write their spelling tests in cursive and in print. They will receive two separate scores. A spelling score as always, and now a handwriting/cursive score for correctly forming all of their letters.
They have the option of just writing in cursive on the test, however incorrect formation of letters will count as misspellings. Therefore, they will have the option of writing in cursive and in print to guarantee a good spelling grade. The choice is theirs. If they feel confident in their cursive, writing the words once will suffice.

Parents as Reading Partners is a program designed to encourage reading as a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. This includes reading a book together or reading silently side-by-side.
This year the program will run from January 3-29 and our reading theme is “Winter”.
To participate, each student, along with his or her reading partner, are asked to read together for a minimum of 15 minutes a day for 4 days each week. (This includes the weekend days.)
Please fill in the weekly Reading Log and hand it in to school on Mondays.
Students who participate for all 4 weeks will receive a certificate of accomplishment with a homework pass. They will all also have their name put into a raffle for a Barnes and Noble gift card.
If our class has 100% participation…I will rent us a movie and we will celebrate with a movie afternoon!!!! :O)
