"2 more Mondays." That was the phrase I heard all over the place today and then suddenly realized that it's true. Holy cow the year went fast! I owe a huge thank you to everyone who helped out on the zoo field trip. I know it was a long, hot day, but hopefully you all had a good time with the kiddos and the ipads. I am excited for you to see their final projects. Here's what you should know for the next couple of weeks:
Important Dates
Monday May 11th - Ecosystem posters due ( I will be sending these home on Thursday so that you can have a little extra time to work on them)
Friday May 15th - Field Day (Look for info from Mrs. Knost)
Friday May 15th - Last day to turn in Missing/Late Work
Monday May 18th - Amazing Race Field Trip (Leave school at 9 am and meet at the Tennis Court parking lot in Forest Park)
Thursday May 21st - 8th grade Graduation at Concordia 7pm
Friday May 22nd - Last Day of School (Dismiss at 11am)
Science
We are still working through our Animal Unit. Most of the work will be done at school, but please refer to the calendar in your child's Science Binder for more specifics.
Math
I will be working with the kids on how to copy work from a Math textbook in the next couple of weeks. This can be a difficult transition in 4th grade, and I would like to help the kids practice a little bit before the end of the year. Don't worry, we'll ease into slowly. Just look for their math work to be mostly done in class instead of being sent home on worksheets.
Reading
I will be doing one more short Book Club with the kids, but we won't be doing the projects at the end like we did last time. Your child's grades will be based on their ability to write out a summary of the book.
Spelling
Due to our field trip, we will have a short list of words this week. We will be making these tomorrow in class. There will still be a spelling project due at the end of the week.
Thank you all for the lovely yellow and pink flowers. They are making my room smell very sweet!
