It did not feel like a Monday today because everyone was so ready to get to work! The kids were awesome and we accomplished so much! Today we had Social Studies, Math, Eng. Tech, Media Center checkout, and Language Arts. We were busy!

Today we learned about Reading to the Superbowl!!! Please ask your child for the information!

We are in need of a swim mom for tomorrow’s swim class and a chaperone for Friday’s field trip. Please let me or Julie Karmanos know if you can help out!

We had two permission slips due today!!!

Parents, please check your child's Blue Take Home Folder each day to check for mail, homework, and important information.

PLEASE INITIAL YOUR CHILD’S PLANNER EACH NIGHT SO I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE HOMEWORK AND EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOM!

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!

It is so important that your child complete his/her reading homework each night! It is the number one way for your child to improve! Please have your child take some time to read out loud to you. They also love hearing you read and you are a great model for them!

We are taking a multiplication quiz on 5 this Thursday. Study your 5 x facts for 5 minutes each day so that you are ready for this on Thursday!
Some students did not complete 15 minutes of IXL over the weekend and are doing it today during success center.

4th Grade Math: We had four online tests due today! We got our pop quizzes back today. They are due with a signature tomorrow! We have a paper called, “Unit 5 Measurement Practice” that is due tomorrow along with JP 130-131 SL 5.9. We have 30 minutes of IXL due by Thursday. I want you to focus on the multiplication skills (D1-D18) during that half hour. If you finish all of them, you can move on to any skills you choose! I am planning to test this Unit on the 17th or 18th. We have so many new skills so I don’t want to rush it and I will give you an exact test date as soon as I know!

It is broken up into two parts called “TCI Communities Chapter 2 Vocab Quiz,” and “TCI Communities Chapter 2 Assessment.” We will have a quick quiz on Chapter 3 on Thursday. Your child is bringing home a review to help him/her study for that quiz!
