This week we will complete our IOWA Assessments. Please make sure that everyone is getting a good night's sleep and eating a healthy breakfast. Also please send your student with a healthy snack and some mints if you would like- they do help!
Due to testing this week we will not switch for classes until Thursday. Homework will be lighter this week. So this might be a good chance to get some extra independent reading in at home- they are devouring books here at school!
IOWA TESTs:
Monday- Practice Tests
Tuesday- Reading
Wednesday- Math
Thursday- Written Expressions
This week in....
Reading: we will have reading like normal. We will continue working with Kai's Journey to Gold Mountain and comparing and contrasting. This story is about Kai who immigrates through Angel Island in California. If anyone has any family history about Angel or Ellis Island please let your student know and we will have time to share those stories.
Spelling: We are SKIPPING lesson 6 and will do lesson 7 this week. We are going to save lesson 6 for the week of October 7th since it is a three day week and lesson 6 is a review lesson.
Religion: The 10 Commandments. We spend a lot of time on them in 4th grade- this is our big topic this year
Social Studies 4th: We will meet on Friday and review Chapter 4. Due to IOWA testing I am going to send Chapter 4 test home as a take home test for over the weekend that will be due on Monday.
