Lots Came Home Tonight!

Wowzers!! Lots of new stuff came home today. First of all, students brought home their laminated practice maps for learning the states & capitals in all 5 of the regions. To go with that, they have a map of just the Northeast with all 11 states and capitals. Today we finished the Geography Challenge for that region so tomorrow we will start the tour which means we will be ready for our test over the NE states and capitals on October 26th. Remember they don't have to know how to spell them as they will have a word bank to choose from, but they need to know the location and of course the state and its' capital. The orange paper that came home is to make a poster for our 4th Grade Bake Sale on October 31st. They wrote in the planner what needs to be on the poster. $100 will be given to students who make a neat, creative, 4th grade quality poster and then they will hang them up in the hallways at school on Wednesday. Also Math homework tonight for everyone. It is a continuous review of skills we have already worked on but that is why it is homework as that is practice. We will continue with algebraic expressions tomorrow. Today in Montana History, we learned about the importance of Montana's rivers and mountains. They had to locate them on a map of Montana. Ask your child 3 reasons why the rivers are important and write them in the planner for free money. My reading kids will be finishing up Unit 1 in reading with their assessment tomorrow and then we will move into Unit 3. Reminder: NILE field trip is on Tuesday, October 16th from 11:30-2:00. More on that later. I will be sending home an informational sheet early next week about all the upcoming Drug Free Week activities/field trips. Have a great night.
