Latitude/Longitude Link

In Social Studies, we have been learning about how to locate a specific place using latitude and longitude. I have added a link called "Latitude / Longitude Game" to the quick links on my blog. This might be a great website to explore with your child to help strengthen this new Social Studies skill! Enjoy!

I hope to see you all tonight at Open House! :)

Open House

A quick reminder that Open House is this Thursday from 6:00 - 7:00. I hope to see you all there!

Accelerated Math

Our class will be doing Accelerated Math every Friday afternoon from about 12:40 to 1:20. If you are interested in volunteering (whether every week, once a month, etc.) please let me know! Thanks!

Ice Cream Social

Reminder... Ice Cream Social tonight at 5:30! Hope to see everyone there!

Grade Sheets

Each 4th grade student will receive a weekly grade sheet this year. This will let you know how your child is doing academically. Also, this will let you know of any missing assignments. Please look for this grade sheet every week in your child's Tuesday folder. However, this week it is coming home today! :)

A Few Reminders

Parents,

What a great first few weeks we have had! What a great group of kids! I truly look forward to coming to school each and every day. Thanks for sharing your child with me!

Just a few reminders...

* We will be taking our NWEA tests on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Please make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast and gets a good night's sleep.

* Please make sure you are signing your child's planner every night.

* Students should be reading at least 20 minutes every school night. They have each made an AR goal for the quarter, and can start taking tests any time.

* Our class is doing two baskets for Saturday Live: "Do You Believe in Magic?" and "Nail Art." Any contribution is greatly appreciated. All the money raised goes to Arrowhead!

* Ice Cream Social is a week from today ~ Friday, September 18th ~ at 5:30. Hope to see everyone there!

Have a wonderful weekend!

NWEA Testing

Our class will be taking the NWEA tests on September 15th, 16th, and 17th.

Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast on these days.

Thanks a bunch! :)

Social Studies Homework

Today in Social Studies we read and discussed four different types of social scientists: economists, geographers, political scientists, and historians. We also discussed artifacts, which are things people use in their daily lives (maps, coupons, ads, photographs, etc.)

Your homework for Social Studies is to find an artifact for each of the four social sciences and bring them to school on Tuesday, September 8th. Think about the things that would interest each of the social scientists ~ be creative.

Please bring your artifacts to school on Tuesday, September 8th.
