Weekly Update

Writing/Spelling

In writing this past week, we celebrated our informational books!  All of our hard work paid off because they turned out awesome!  We got to rotate to all of the fourth grade classrooms and read our friends' books!  We commented on great things that the authors did.  In Spelling, students will receive new word sorts.  The next spelling test will be Friday, March 13th.






  
Reading
This past week, we started our book clubs!  Book clubs meet twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Students are responsible for filing out the assigned book club role sheets (discussed in an earlier post) and in reading the assigned chapters before every meeting date.  Students impressed me with their deep conversations about their books in our very first week of book clubs!  Keep up the good work! 




Math
The Chapter 9 Test is Monday, March 2nd.  Students have study guides.  In Chapter 10, we will add decimals to our study of fractions.  

Science
We explored current electricity in science this past week.  We had a lot of fun building circuits with a variety of materials such as wires, batteries, light bulbs, and switches!  Don't forget- students can click here to log on to the science textbook and complete activities for extra credit.  






Other Important Info.  
  • Principal's Day is Wednesday, March 4th!  
  • Friday, March 6th is the last day of third quarter.  It is a half day with dismissal at 11:40.  No lunch will be served.
  • As third quarter nears the end, I want to remind you that you may check grades at any time using this SIS link: https://sis.lindberghschools.ws/LB/Default.aspx.  SIS is updated regularly to make you aware of how your child is doing in each subject.  
  • I have sent out invitations to parents with whom I am requesting spring conferences.  Spring conferences are optional.  If I had not requested a conference but you would like to meet, SignUpGenuis will be available Tuesday, March 3rd for you to sign up.
