Droms

  Only four more weeks until our Winter Break!  We discussed some of the fun things we will be doing during this time but we also discussed the fact that we still have a lot of work to get done. 

In math we are in the middle of a geometry unit. Check out the following sites if you want to work on it a little more at home.  http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/rubber_geometry_vocab_match/

In language arts we are working on our book reviews and reading novels in our reading groups. 

In social studies we are learning about colonial America and the different regions.

In science we are finishing up our unit on simple machines.  Ask your students about the wonderful experiments we did with Scientist Q. 

PTA is having a breakfast with Santa next Saturday, December 8.  They will be making crafts, serving breakfast, watching "The Polar Express", and Santa will be there.  Tickets are $3 a child and will be presold until Dec. 6.  Tickets will also be available at the door.  We hope to see you all there.

I have had a few questions about the holiday party.  We will be having a celebration with all of 4th grade on Friday Dec. 21.  Each class is asked to bring in donations of different things.  I will be sending home a letter explaining all of this next Friday.  If you would like to help out, please send me a note or email.

  Can you believe it's almost time for Thanksgiving?!  We do still have another week and a half so make sure your child is here every day on time.  Since Mrs. Morrissey left our school, we now have both science and social studies in our room.  We completed our explorer projects and the kids did a great job!  If you want a copy of our class's performance just sned in a blank DVD and I'll be happy to burn you a copy.  We are now beginning our colonial America unit.  Perfect timing for Thanksgiving!   In science we are learning about simple machines, force, and motion.   We just finished up our division unit in math and we will begin geometry next week.   In language arts we are working on writing book reviews. 

We have a fabulous program coming to us next Wednesday.  High Tech High Touch will be coming into our classrooms and doing some great hands-on science experiments with the kids.  Please make sure that you have sent in your child's permission form and money for this wonderful experience.  Our next field trip will be to the Fox theater on December 3rd to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.  Be on the lookout for information on this one. 

As the weather is getting colder, please make sure that your child has a jacket every day.  We will continue to go outside as long as the weather is nice and not too cold.
