This is an exciting week for the school. It is Jog-a-thon Week! Students are invited to jog at home or at school. More information here on how to participate!
What to look forward to in Academics:
Math: Fourth Graders are now using the ZEARN curriculum. The class will have teacher instructed lessons daily and three independent Zearn lessons weekly. All lessons are done during math class. If students need time to finish math, they are able to during Independent Work time.
Reading with Mrs Halley: This week we finish our novel study of Bunnicula. Student will show their comprehension of the novel in 3 ways: a comprehension matching quiz, a short answer quiz, and completing and sharing with their classmates a final project of their choice.
Writing: Students begin a multi-week Common Core Narrative Writing Unit. A packet of graphic organizers was sent home during our Meet and Greet to use with this unit. Brainstorming and rough drafts will be done in the writing composition book. The final draft will be typed. Students will have many opportunities to share their work along the way.
Social Studies: Monday we will discuss Hispanic Heritage Month. From mid-September through mid-October, America celebrates the traditions, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans.
