Week 25

RAVES:
I wanted to compliment the 4th graders for grand reviews from their Substitute Teachers on their behavior from last Friday and Monday. I was away for medical reasons, and am happy to be back today.
ACADEMICS:
The Last Wagon Trail books are coming in and we will begin this book on Monday. In reading, the past week and a half we have read about some explorers by sea, and now we have begun to read about immigrants who began to travel out west on the Oregon Trail post Lewis and Clark. The Lost Wagon Train will compliment this next Social Studies Unit, Missionaries. If we do not end up with enough books, I will copy the chapters for your student.

In Religion we continue with the CRS curriculum, this week we will travel to Afghanistan and learn how CRS has helped young boys and girls attend school.

Tomorrow the students have their Geometry/Measurement Unit Test. The students were given review sheets last week and had many days to study and were assigned review sheets in the book to prepare for this test. Please review with your student tonight for the test. Toward the end of the week we will spend some time on long division. Long division is not part of the 4th grade math curriculum according OSPI (Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction), however, I find it important that the students have a good understanding of division and the steps to follow prior to- 5th grade.

In Science we continue to work on our Science Projects. Getting to the Lab every chance we can. Please have your student bring in his display board by the beginning of next week. If you have trouble getting one of these, please let me know.
