Great Job 4th Graders on Recorders

Yes, once again I am very proud of these kids. They shined at the concert today!! What was your favorite song? Write it in the planner for free money. We started Riding Freedom today one of my all time favorite books. Ask your child where Charlotte ended up when she was 2 years old and why. Write the where in the planner for free money. In Math, we finished up our chapter on Measurement. We are going to have a little assessment tomorrow and then we are off to Metric Olympics on Tuesday of next week. We will be doing these outside as the weather next week is supposed to be beautiful. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Also, next week outside on Tuesday, we are going to do Hawaiian Day. We have fun planned like sitting on the beach enjoying Hawaiian food, surf board races (scooters), kayaking with scooters, sharks/minnows, etc. Everyone should have the $300 buy in as they got at least that for the group project they did where they planned the Hawaiian Vacation for the whole class. Ms. Erickson and I put together a form/permission form with all the extra events going on for 4th grade this year. You will see we have lots of fun planned along with learning to make it a memorable year. These will be going home tomorrow so have your calendar ready to mark it all down. Students know that they have to keep working hard and earning money to be able to buy into these events. Like I have said many times before, positive choices = free money. Many many ways to earn it and have fun. Midterms came home today and I am excited to say that grades are very good. If your child needs to bring up a grade they have 4 1/2 weeks before report card time and BUG Club. If you saw your child's mid-term, write midterm in the planner. Remember to keep practicing those 50 states and capitals. Also, get those April reading calendars back. There will be no May calendar as grades will be due before the end of the month and there are lots of things going on this month. That doesn't mean I don't want you to read, but you just don't have to keep track of it. Reading nightly is a great habit and one you don't want to break!!! Have a great night.
