Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful break. We are back in Reading Street, so look for reading and spelling tests to be coming home. Now that the Rewards Program is finished, Reading Skills Groups have begun this week. Fourth Graders are grouped according to their needs and move between the 5 classes for 30 minutes right before lunch. We have begun Unit 5 in Math on rounding, estimating, and multiplication. I will teach multiplication the traditional way. The Unit Test date is Thursday, January 19. We are studying chemical & physical changes in Science this week. Our Science Test on Matter will be on Wednesday, January 18. The grading period (and the semester) will be ending soon on January 23. Report Cards will go home on the 27. Conferences will follow on January 31 & February 7. Be sure to let me know if you would like a conference by returning the paper to school when it comes home.
