Hello Families,
The dismal weather has returned,
but things are sunny and interesting in 4th grade. Last week, they did a wonderful job of
investigating, planning, making, revising and presenting their catapults. We also were
learning about the Explorers, and imagining why WE would go exploring
despite the danger. Their answers are
hanging in the hall. Quite interestingJ. Onward to the ordinary:
Homework:
Spelling: Lesson 9- Long O
Science: Expect to find your children lurking around
your house this week, looking for simple machines J
Math: We took a multiplication fact
test today that covered 1’s,2’s,3’s,4’s,
and 5’s. Check their Monday folder to see how they did. Their mastery needs to be good to move forward
with Long Multiplication and Long Division which are coming up!! We are practicing 6’s this week.
Reading-
Reading Calendar is due by tomorrow, November 3.
It is an important part of the reading grade.
Bible:
God is Omniscient
Chapel: One of the ways that we
encourage generosity and love of others is by helping Ana Maribel and Mfunelo . We collect an
offering each week during class and then put it in the large collection on
Tuesdays during chapel.
Computers: We are doing
keyboarding practice once or twice a week during computer class. This is a skill that 4th graders
need to be reasonably proficient at by the end of 4th grade. Please
help them practice at home to increase mastery. We use
Freetypinggame.net. Mavis
Beacon and Type to Learn are also good programs. The BIG thing is for them
to learn to keep their fingers in the proper, home row, position. They want to hunt and peck. J
There will be a grade for keyboarding at the end of progress 2.

Coming Events:

up from the cafeteria NEXT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, between 3:00pm – 6pm. If your child goes to Extended Care,
