Hello November! The days are flying by, and we are preparing for Fall conferences. Report cards will come home Monday in backpacks. I am looking forward to talking with all of you at conferences.

This week:

Math – continuing with multiplication.We will start our math facts drills on Monday. Some students really need to practice at home! Xtra Math flyers are coming home today to log in at home and practice. Students also have flashcards

Writing – We have completed our story planning and strong leads, and we will be finalizing our realistic fiction stories next week Friday.

Reading – We have enjoyed our read aloud of Tiger Rising. Ask your student what he/she learned about the characters in this book. We had great discussions. Book clubs should also finish up this week. Some students will need to finish reading at home this weekend.

Government– We are studying the Core Democratic Values and applying them to our fourth grade life.

Thank you volunteers for a fabulous Fall Party.  The students loved the treats, games, and crafts! Very fun afternoon! Next week Tuesday – Wild West Dress and Book Fair.
