News and Notes from 4th Grade - April 9th-13th

Achievement Tests are next week.  Please help your child be ready to take these tests by getting a good night's sleep and eating a healthy breakfast.  Also, to help them stay alert during tests mint has been proven to stimulate the brain.  If you would please send in a bag of wrapped mints to share during testing week that would be great - Peppermint Patties, mint Lifesavers, peppermints, etc are all good options.  Please give these to your child's teacher.

Memory Work Character Formation: The Jerusalem Council
Word of the Week: Responsibility - God's power for you to be accountable to God and others.

Memory Work - we will have two memory verses this week along with our character formation definition.
Acts 15:11
11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” 

Romans 6:23
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Responsibility - God's power for you to be accountable to God and others.

Many art projects are hanging in the hallways and posted on Seesaw.  Please come in to check them out or post a comment on Seesaw for your child to see.

Graded papers were sent home on Friday.  Please take a few moments to look over your child's graded papers with them to see how they are doing on their school work and read any important notes from school.

Spelling: Grammar and Spelling quizzes on Monday, April 9th.
New spelling words will start 4/10 for week 12.

Reading: Students are working in their reading notebook to document their reading time. We are working on building reading stamina.  Students will be using reading logs to record the time and number of pages they are reading during one sitting.  Students are expected to record a reading time each day at school and five per week at home.  We expect them to read for at least 20 minutes (or longer) each time they log. By Monday of each week a parent needs to initial their student's reading log. Students should log at least 10 readings this week.

Science: We are still learning about Energy in class our focus is changing from circuits to magnetic energy.

Social Studies: Students will take a "tour" of the states in the midwest.
