4th Grade News

Hello Fourth Grade Families,

Brrrr …. It is cold out there!  Please help your student dress properly for this freezing weather.  Remember, they are outside for a full 30 minutes at lunch recess. We also had a fire drill yesterday, and although it was sunny out it was a long 12 minutes standing still in line outside for the handful of students wearing shorts. In case of an actual emergency, this could have been much longer!  This is a good week for long pants, gloves, and hats!
Goal for the Week Be a serious science student and study for the test.

Announcements:     

Box Tops for CVES!!!  There was a flyer and envelope in your child’s Friday folder!  Start clippin’ and savin’ now!

The PTSA Cultural Heritage Night scheduled for 1/18 has been cancelled.

Scholastic Book Order: Fliers went home today, and the last day to order books will January 25th.
Letter From Our School Nurse: Mrs. McGavran has asked us to pass along the attached letter about when to keep students home from school. It would also be a great idea to remind students to practice good hand washing/sanitizing practices. We remind them often at school, but it can’t hurt to remind them at home as well. Let’s keep those kiddos healthy!

This Week:

We’re finishing our science topic on Ecosystems, writing an expository piece for a district assessment, continuing our walk-to-reading novel study groups, learning about decimals, celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., and playing math games with our reading buddies!

With thanks,
Emily Larson
