Happy Monday! Isn't this weather gorgeous!? This is a good sign that summer is right around the corner. Things are coming to close here, but we are still working away at making this school year successful. Here is a look at our week ahead:
In Science, we will continue to work on our Science Fair projects here at school. No worries, everything is completed here. You are able to come see their hard work on May 17 from 1:45- 2:30.
In Math, we will continue our work with geometry and measuring lines and angles, and solving problems involving these. We are preparing for our MAP test in this area on Monday, May 1 and Tuesday, May 2.
In Writing, students are working on a mock-scrap book about their school year. They are having so much fun remembering the year!
In Reading, we are reading Sarah, Plain and Tall as a class, working on main idea, theme and connections.
We have our last true spelling list with rule this week. Let's end with a bang!
Please remember to return your child's field trip permission slip with money by Tuesday, April 25.
Have a great week! Only 4 more weeks!

April 18-21
Welcome Back!
We hope you had a refreshing break! We will be kicking off MAP testing first thing Tuesday morning with ELA testing at 8:30. Please make sure that your student gets plenty of sleep the night before and that they have a hearty breakfast to give them energy and brain power to persevere. It is also important that your student be on time that day as well as Wednesday. We will also be switching specials times with the first classes for those two days. So, they will get there specials on Tuesday and Wednesday at 12:45.
In math we are finishing up geometry and data. Then, in science we are looking at our science fair projects and putting them together. This is an at school project and will be done in the classrooms with all supplies provided. The students usually have a great time conducting their experiments! In reading we will be beginning our new class book Sarah Plain and Tall. Finally, there will be no spelling this week as we would like our students to focus solely on the MAP.
I can't believe we have only 23 1/2 days left of fourth grade. Once MAP is over we will be sure to have some fun to end our year. There will be more to come on those events later. Thank you again for all you do for our students all year long and if you have any questions or concerns please contact your students' teacher!
Sincerely,
Fourth Grade Team

April 10-12
What an exciting week!!!
We're so ready and excited for the 4th Grade Famous Missourian Wax Museum! The kids have been working so hard and they're ready to show everyone what they know!
The Wax Museum will take place in the High School gym this year from 9:30-10:30. If you need to help your child set up, please plan on being at the school around 8:40. This is when we will begin preparing and moving our things down to the gym. At 10:30, if you are at the wax museum, you may help your child change, clean up, and take anything home that you can. We ask that you don't house any of the wax museum props, stands, etc. in our rooms overnight. If you need to pick it up at the end of the day, that is fine as well!
We will not have a new spelling list this week since it is a short week.
In reading this week, we will continue to do MAP test preparation and vocabulary work. Please remember that we begin MAP testing April 18th, our first day back from Easter Break. We will test first thing in the morning so please try to have your child here on time. We've sent home several MAP testing tips for supporting them at home. We ask that they get a good night's rest and a good breakfast each morning. They will get a small snack right before testing here and some gum/candy to munch on during testing.
In math this week, we will begin our geometry unit. We will study points lines and rays this week and continue our geometry unit further next week.
In science this week, we will begin working on our science fair projects. Science fair is set for May 17th. We will send more information home about it when it is closer. All the work for our science fair projects will be done at school!
Reminder:
No school this Thursday, Friday, Monday
1/2 AR Goal is due this Wednesday, April 12
All AR Points due May 12
Have a great week and safe break!

April 3-7
Happy Monday! If there is any truth in the saying, "April showers bring May flowers!" we should have LOTS of beautiful flowers!
This week in whole group reading, we will be using this week to prepare for the MAP test by reviewing testing vocabulary and reviewing some testing tips to help ease their stress level. We begin testing on the Tuesday after our Easter break.
In Writing, we will continue to plug away with our Famous Missourians. The students seem to be making great progress with their projects and we are excited to see the final outcome on April 11. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. It is right around the corner!
In Math, students will finish up their studies on customary measurement. We will test over this on Friday.
In Social Studies, we will finish up our chapter on growth in Missouri now discussing reconstruction and moving into inventions. We will test on Friday.
Have a great week!
