4th Grade May 20-24th

This week in math we are continuing to work on our math games. Students are working hard on these and the game boards are looking great! On Friday we will be having our ice cream party for those who have passed off their multiplication facts. We have a few more days for students who still need to do their timed tests in class. For writing, we are finishing up our plays. On Wednesday May 22nd we will be performing our plays. Since we have dance practice at 1:00, we will actually be performing our plays at 1:30. We will be performing in my room in the trailers. Please come and see all of the hard work your students have put into these plays! We are excited to show you what we have been working on. Also, please make sure that your student brings their costume to school for the play. They should know what they need to wear. If you have any questions please let me know!

Last Full Week of School!

Missing assignments were due today! If your student has anything they would like to bring up their grade on, I will give them till Wednesday morning to turn it in to me. Also, if your student brought a math book home to do their homework, please have them bring it back as soon as possible. This is the last week that we have math homework. 4th grade won't have any more book assignments so students can bring their books back anytime. Don’t forget about Field Day next Tuesday May 28th, and the Dance Festival next Wednesday May 29th.

They will create rules, as well as all of the necessary components of the game. This will take us a while to create. In writing we are working hard on our plays this week. Students are to get all of their props and set done by Wednesday. We will be having a dress rehearsal on Monday, and then on Wednesday May 22nd, we invite you to come to our class and watch us perform our plays at 1:15 pm.
