May is almost over! I apologize for being
away this last two days. This is a quick note to remind everyone that we have gymnastics tomorrow Thursday, May 18 and our bake sale is on Friday. The bake sale is a fundraising event to pay
for Charlotte Thompson. As our school is
nut aware please do not send any baked goods containing nuts. If you are having
trouble of coming up with an idea of what to bake here is an excellent resource
shared to me by a parent: Bake Better Bites

Next, Tuesday,
May 24 is the Zone Track Meet at
Hillside Stadium for all of the students who qualified.
In the classroom, we have begun our literature circles and students are
reading either Charlotte’s Web, Owls in the Family, Holes or Tales of Fourth
Grade Nothing.
Majority of students have finished their
rough draft for their fractured fairy
tale and are in the process of completing their final presentation for it. In science, we have been learning about matter. Whoa! In math we have begun our
division unit. Students will find
this concept frustrating if they do not have a strong understanding of basic
multiplication facts. While completing their assignments students do have
access to a multiplication table but if they know these facts by heart it makes
the division concepts easier to understand. Mathplayground has several games devoted to multiplication and division facts as well as math
prodigy.
I know this is a busy time of year and
sometimes students do not always have time for homework and reading. But, it is
important that they do read at least 15
minutes each day and even better if they get a chance to practice reading
out loud.
