4th Grade News and Notes for August 27th-31st

Wow! What another amazing week we have had in 4th grade.  Students are learning routines and procedures wonderfully.  They learned about password protection and creating a strong password for their Chromebook accounts.  They should be able to sign in at home.  This might be a good time to practice before they need to use it for an assignment. They should tell you the password they created, keep it somewhere safe.

Scholastic Book Order Forms:  We would like to send home monthly catalogs for you to purchase books from Scholastic.  Both 4th grade classes are in search of a parent volunteer that could collate the forms for us.  Please email your child's teacher if you are willing to help.

Character Formation Story: Adam and Eve and the Fall

Word of the Week: Respect - God's power for you to honor Him and others.

Please work with your child on memorizing the Character Formation definition for respect and the memory verse.  

Focus Question: How we can respect God when faced with the temptation to choose your own way?

Respect - God's power for you to honor Him and others.

James 4:7 - 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Art: Students are creating a piece of art from a perspective of 

Reading: This week students created lists for "Ways We Choose Books" and discussed how "Reading is Thinking", when we read we are always thinking about what we read and why it is important or making predictions about what will happen in the future.

Students are working on building their reading stamina.  They should bring one or more books from home to read during the school day.  We will be doing benchmark testing to see how they are reading.  After the testing we will better know what areas to support them in reading comprehension and fluency.

Math: Students are encouraged to practice math facts at home, especially multiplication.  They should be able to say their multiplication facts as quickly as possible from memory.  Please work on these throughout the year.  We will start with a review of addition/subtraction and word problems this week.

Social Studies: Students are concluding their unit about the four social scientists.  There will be a review and a test sometime in the next week.  Please check planners for more information.

Our first field trip is coming up on Wednesday, October 10th.  Parents are needed to form small groups of students to explore and learn about the pioneer days of Missouri's history.  Please email Mrs. Endorf if you are able to join us for the day.
