WE WRAPPED UP BENCHMARK TESTING! We are so proud of their hard work. Look for benchmark scores on the conference form copies that will come home today! Each student will have one. You DO NOT need to sign/return this copy. It is yours to keep.

Thank you to everyone who had the opportunity to come to conferences last night! It was so nice to get to check in with families and we appreciate your flexibility in scheduling on additional days or phone conferences if necessary to make it work! We love to share what awesome work our kiddos are doing, and we hope you are all proud of them!

Next week we will get back to our normal routines! Here is what we will be focusing on:
-4th Reading: Cause and Effect Relationships; text structure
-4th Writing: Wrapping up “Choose your own Adventure” State Stories
-4th Virginia Studies:

-5th Reading: Media Messages
-5th Writing: Wrapping up “Choose your own Adventure” Animal Stories

4TH GRADE AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM! Students need a poster and some sort of prop/costume to represent their person. If no costume/prop is applicable, dress nicely and wear a name tag! 🙂
Click here for copy. This outlines expectations and requirements!

EXAMPLES OF POSTERS:

• We will pass out Valentine’s and enjoy treats at the end of the day on Friday February 14th @ 1:30
• If you would like to send valentines (NOT REQUIRED) please send one for each student (12).
• Students may bring a decorated box or bag to collect valentines. If not, we will give them a baggie to collect.
• Candy is fine as long as it is peanut free

Last Friday, Strawbridge photo packets came home with students. If you would like to purchase, please follow ordering instructions inside the packet.  If you are NOT INTERESTED in keeping these photos, PLEASE RETURN THE FULL PACKET ASAP. Thanks!
