Welcome to the 2016-2017 Blog!

Welcome to the 4th Grade blog!

This blog is designed to keep all of our families updated about what is coming up during the week for our fourth grade students.  We invite you to get updates by email and that way whenever something is posted you should get a notification. 

We will use this to let you know what lesson we are in for spelling, what story we are reading in reading, what chapter we are in for religion, and what we are doing for social studies and language arts.  We will also let you know when tests are scheduled.

Up at the top of the blog are some tabs that contain more information and links to resources.  The Spelling tab has a link to our SpellingCity account and the Reading tab has a link to the online version of the book!  

We will be showing the students how to get here and hopefully everyone finds it useful!
