The Menu for tomorrow is as follows: Breakfast: English Muffin Breakfast melt or Cereal
Lunch: Hot Dog or Chicken Rings. March menus will be available tomorrow. Check later for pictures!!!! WE are working with Pattern blocks and tangrams in Math for geometry, and it's been so much fun, we wanted you to see!
No one tried my math problem--can't blame you! The answer is 4 bags of feed. Students have been asking me about Spring break, and so far, it still looks to be April 2-10th--taking in Easter break as well. I'm sure that information will be going home about break when it is closer to time.
Happy Friday (weekend) to all! Reading tests went well. Some of you have asked about improving reading grades on the tests we take. A good way to do that would be to ask your child to see his or her test, and go over the answers with them! They have been doing the same format of test since they were in second grade.
WE need pencils---if anyone would like to send in another package of pencils. Our pencil sharpener eats some of them, but some just get used/lost/etc. HomewOrK packets will continue to come home this week. A grade is given for this homework so that it is not a waste of time! Several of my students are having trouble remembering to either do, or return their homework. It doesn't count unless it is here as assigned. Students who forget to bring in this work are not given credit for it. Please help your student be responsible in this work! Thank you! I hope all have had an opportunity to enjoy this beautiful day!!! I have heard that tomorrow is going to be more seasonably cool, so please keep that in mind as your child dresses for school. There will be a homework packet this evening for math. These are the skill review packets that we use for MAP prep. They shouldn't take long to complete, and if you wish to help your child that is encouraged. The packet is due back tomorrow morning, first thing, and then will be reviewed. Also, tomorrow is our assessment day for Reading and Communitcation arts. WE have worked on these skills all week, but your student should probably study spelling before the test. If you have any questions, we have internet back!!!!! I always really enjoy hearing from you, and knowing that all is well! Take care!
Our internet is still out at school. If anyone is trying to reach me, please call the school, although we hope to have it restored soon. We had a math quiz today, and the students did very well on it! I still have only 9 students who have purchased a science fair display board--Please have your student get their board, and begin thinking about what sort of project he or she wants to do. WE are discussing the science fair, and trying to get ideas for projects.
It is good to have internet again! It's down at school, so I wasn't able to check my mail for any messages, if anyone sent me any. Your child has homework tonight! A math packet was sent home, and is to be returned, worked, tomorrow. WE are having a bit of trouble remembering that homework needs to be finished after school, and returned the next day--and turned in to the teacher! Thanks for your help!
WE are off and running on another week! Your child will have some math homework this week! This is all to help him/her be better prepared for the MAP test coming up in a few short weeks. Please help with this packet, as necessary! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
What a fun day we've had, and we have enjoyed the movie! Results from the math test are coming home (your students did well overall). WE are getting on the down hill side for time to prepare for our MAP test, so beginning next week, your child will have homework some during the week. These will be math packets that you can help your child do (we encourage this) and there will be a grade for this work.
We have spring conferences coming up, and I look forward to talking with you again! For these conferences, the schedule is drop in from 1:00-6:00. I will remind you as the time gets closer. Hard to believe we are nearly at the end of third quarter!!!! I wish a wonderful weekend to all! |
AuthorI am Mrs. Jackson. I have been teaching fourth grade for many years now, and I love teaching! I am excited to work with your children, and hopeful that we will be working as a team to promote a successful year in fourth grade. Me in 4th grade.
