Updates
Happy Friday! I wanted to give some updates as we approach the end of the year!
SCIENCE- On Monday, April 23, the students have their first Science Journal Check. ALL STUDENTS MUST have 3 pages of research. The three research pages should 1.) be from 3 different sources 2.) have five facts from each source 3) be written on the 3 pages of the back of their Science Journals. ALL WORK SHOULD BE DONE AT HOME AT THIS TIME.
Students should also have started their experiment and have completed the following: Question, hypothesis, materials & procedure.
DISPLAY BOARDS HAVE BEEN ORDERED FOR ALL 4TH GRADE STUDENTS. THEY WILL BE IN STOCK AND READY FOR ME TO PICK THEM UP, THE WEEK OF THE 24. I WILL SEND THEM HOME AS SOON AS THEY ARE HERE. STUDENTS CAN STILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THEIR DISPLAY BOARDS BY TYPING UP THEIR INFORMATION TO PRINTED OUT. I WILL ALSO ALLOW SOME CLASS TIME TO WORK ON THE BOARDS.
ALL DISPLAY BOARDS ARE THE SAME SIZE AND WHITE. You may consider using fabric or butcher paper to cover yours for appeal.
Mid-quarter grade reports are being sent home today. Please keep in mind that this includes the last couple of weeks during which MAP testing was taking place. Therefore, there aren’t a lot of grades in the gradebook. This can quickly lower your child’s grades if they did poorly on one assignment. If you would like more detail regarding specific assignments, please check PowerSchool Parent Portal. There will be many opportunities over the next four weeks to raise grades in all subjects. The Science Fair project will be a large portion of their grade in Working With Words, Writing, Reading, and Science, so please make sure that they are keeping up with assignments and completing them in a timely manner.
Enjoy the weekend!
