Don’t forget each student’s cube about the southwestern or western state is due on Tuesday, April 17th. This is an at-home project so you can help your child with ideas, editing, etc., but everything written or drawn on the project should be done by your 4th grader. Looking forward to enjoying their creativity on the 17th.
The students are taking the ISAT tests this week. Please make sure your child is well rested and has a good breakfast. A small, healthy snack may be brought to school to eat before the afternoon test. Please encourage your child to try to do his/her very best on these tests. Thanks!
We are switching back to Art class on Tuesday afternoons. The students will not have Music class again until the 4th quarter.
The students who are in band should bring their instruments according to the following schedule:
Percussion: Tuesday morning
Woodwinds: Wednesday morning
Brass: Thursday morning
All Band Students should have their instruments in school, and plan to stay after until 4:00, on Thursday afternoons for an additional band practice.
The children in 4A will have Music (instead of Art) during the second quarter. Please make sure your child remembers to bring his/her musical instrument to school every Tuesday until the end of the 2nd quarter.
Please ask your child for the Weekly Green Folder that’s sent home on Tuesdays. There are often important handouts enclosed. Your child’s graded work is always included. Please take a few minutes to go through the papers with your child. Keep the papers and handouts at home, unless they need to be signed and returned. Also, sign the slip in the front of the folder and return it to school with your child on Wednesday. I really count on this as an important way for us to keep in touch about how your child is doing in school. Thank you so much for your support!!
The test will be on Tuesday, September 13th. Tonight, your 4th grader should be studying his/her vocabulary flash cards at home. Tomorrow, the textbook and notes packet will be brought home to use for studying on Thursday night and over the weekend. The test will have matching, multiple choice, and fill in the blank questions. The students will also need to draw and label a diagram as well as write a short essay. It’s really important to study for at least 15 – 20 minutes each night for this test. Use the Study Guide that was sent home on Tuesday for more study tips.
Hope to see all the 4th grade parents here tonight at 7:00. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you!
Don’t forget to bring in 6 to 8 photos of yourself for your “Proud to be Me” project. You need your pictures by Monday.
Welcome to Ms. Strauss’s 4th Grade website! I’m looking forward to a great year. Please check back here often to find out about the interesting things we are doing in school.
