We are now beginning the 3rd and final trimester! This is always my favorite time of year because the kids really start to mature and shine and grow into soon-to-be 5th graders... it's fun to watch!
I will be out of the classroom for a few days this week - the kids are in good hands with Mrs. Abelar. You can reach me by email if needed.
Notes/Reminders:
- Report cards will be sent home this Friday - please sign and return the envelope after reviewing the report card with your child. Please note that it is common to see a decline in grades from the 1st trimester to the 2nd. The 1st trimester begins with a lot of review, and when we reach the 2nd trimester, we are fully involved in new skills and concepts, and a lot of organization and responsibility is required of the students. If you happen to notice a decline in your child's grades, take the opportunity to discuss with them what they can do differently during the 3rd trimester to raise their grades and make the most of their time in the fourth grade.
- Please sign and return your child's new AR goal sheet.
This week we will...
...continue learning all about the California Gold Rush!
...learn more about fractions. I know this can be a confusing concept for students to grasp. Please take the opportunity to point out fractions in everday life (for example: what fraction of the pizza slices are left in the box after a sleepover?)
...take a district math assessment Tuesday.
