So excited about our science fair tomorrow evening!!!! The boards are looking very good that are here~ WE are making rice babies soon! Information comes home today about Rice babies--this is a really neat project for students to consider weight, measurement, and it's personal to them! Please ask your child for the rice baby information. Thank you!

What a fun day! WE got to see/meet Mr. Keller this morning, as he and Ms. Wymore visited from Middle School! Then we had our MAP barbecue, and it was very good (and oddly chilly ouside!) WE will continue to do graded work for the next two weeks, so while we are tempted to "check out" from working hard now---we can't yet! Please remember that our science fair projects are due in on Monday---and the science fair will be Tuesday evening from 6:00-7:00 in the gym. I am excited, the projects I've seen so far have been very good. Have a wonderful weekend, all~
Today is our MAP reward BBQ, and my entire class qualifies to enjoy a day of food and play! I am also excited to start seeing science projects come in. Remember that we need those today or Monday in order to have time to grade them, and have them set up in time for the fair. Thank you for your efforts to help your child have a good science project!
Wow, our science fair is just ONE WEEK away! I hope that projects are coming along--or better yet, ready to present by now. Displays need to be brought to the school at least by Monday, April 30th. They will be set up at the end of the day on Tuesday, May 1st, and judged between the end of the school day, and the fair that evening. Please remember that these are worth 100pts. and each student needs to have a project. Mostly, I hope that you and your child have enjoyed this activity. Please contact me at home, or at school, or even here, if I can help! Thank you!
Our MAP test is over and we have celebrated that success with an afternoon movie and some snacks. Your children did very well with our testing sessions, and I am proud of them! School is winding down, and we will have many distractions from our routine in the next few weeks as we'll have the field trip, and other activities. As long as we are in school, however, we will still be teaching, learning, and taking grades. Please help me to help your student finish elementary school strongly--and not to assume school is already over! Only the MAP test is over, we still have things to do that will be graded! Thank you for your help! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
One more day and we are finished with our test for fourth grade! If you would like to help your child be prepared for the test, we still need practice measuring, and dividing with remainders. Please help your child get a good night's sleep, and tomorrow we will be finished with our work! Thank you for your help!
Progress reports are coming home today! The report shows a 2nd semester grade, but that is not an accurate score as 4th quarter isn't over yet. The grades for 4th quarter are accurate at this time. If your child would like to bring up his or her grades, I would remind you that there are but four weeks left of school, and missed/forgotten assignments are very hard on grades at this point.
There IS time to bring grades up, however, as we are not finished for four more weeks! Day two of our testing is over, and my class is doing SO well!!!! They have worked very hard, and I'm proud of the effort they've put into the test so far! Thank you for your help in guiding them to get a good night's sleep, and try their best! Back again tomorrow for day three of testing. Thank you for treats, too, we are appreciating those.
WE have completed our testing for today, and my class did a wonderful job!!! Please make sure your child has a good night's sleep, and is here each day for testing! Thanks for your help!
The Magic House was a fun trip! WE enjoyed pictures of it today--which I hope you've checked out! I took a lot of pictures and will be posting more. Monday begins our week of MAP testing. I hope that your child has a good weekend, without worrying about the test. It is so important for the students to have perfect attendance during testing week. There is even a barbecue to celebrate the end of testing, and good effort throughout test week. Please read suggestions on my page, and perhaps others on preparing your child for the test. Have a great weekend, all!
