February 10-12

At School:

In Literacy: We wrote a paragraph about our favorite thing! Students were encouraged to use an If..Then, Even..though, Since or When topic sentence, 3 details to support their topic sentence, and a strong concluding sentence like we discussed. 

In Math: Students were given a mid-point assessment on multiplication and division. They were given this assessment back on Wednesday to take home. There is still time to practice before our unit test in March. A huge thank you to families who are working on basic multiplication facts at home! While students have multiplication charts as tools in their desks from the fall, the expectation is to know multiplication facts automatically without using the multiplication chart. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication basic facts whenever possible and we will continue to work on them in school as well.

This week, students were introduced to long division and that will be our focus for the next week or two. 

In Art: We created a piece of art inspired by the artist Chris Uphues. Students drew hearts with faces and added color using washable markers, water and a paint brush. Then they used watercolor to add colorful confetti to their background. 

Grade 4 students are invited to participate in a Yearbook Cover Contest and yesterday they were given a chance to get started. Submissions are due March 5th and a folder was taken home yesterday with the details inside! 

Looking Forward:

-Next week's word work words are: kindness, happiness, weakness, darkness, sadness, movement, payment, treatment, judgement, statement, bigger, tugged, luggage, bragging, aggressive, summer, common, mammal, grammar, immense 

-Please return field trip forms for the Hitmen Game as soon as possible

-We are still accepting Polar Bear Club forms
