Well, we have had an awesome first two weeks!  The students are beginning to get back into the "swing" of school.  It's a big step going from 3rd to 4th grade.  The students find themselves being much more independent during 4th grade and it can be quite a transition.

Thank you for getting your child all the necessary supplies for school.  If your child does not have a 5 subject notebook, please see that they get one.  Your child will be taking notes through out the year in this notebook as well as keeping papers, etc.  Also, thank you for the band aids, tissues, etc. that were donated to the class.

We have jumped into our subject areas with both feet.  We are currently studying:

Math- Place Value from the hundredths to the millions

English- Types of sentences

Language Arts- Narrative literature and writing

Social Studies- Map skills and US regions

Science- Weather
