Weekly Update

 Hi Parents!

How do we only have 17 days of school left?! We have finished all our SOLs and are looking forward to having some fun! Please read below for important information. There are two forms below that I need you to fill out. 

Tie Dye T-shirts

Now that SOLs and the academics have all been covered, the 4th grade team thought it would be nice to have a little fun! First, we would like to have the entire grade level make tie dye t-shirts. The students can wear them on Field Day and then later we will all sign each other’s shirts as an end of year souvenir. In order to pull this off, we need you to please fill out THIS FORM to let us know what size t-shirt your child wears. Please let me know by Friday, May 27th. 

We also need a parent volunteer from each class, 6- five gallon buckets and the dye. The link to our Amazon wish list for supplies is linked HERE  if you would like to donate something off it for us. You can ship it right to the school, attention Kristen Rivera. 

 If you are interested in volunteering to help the grade level dye those shirts, please reach out. 

Tiger Rising Movie

The first book we read this year in our reading unit was Tiger Rising. The students really enjoyed this story and still talk about it today. Recently, it was just made into a live action film. I would love to watch this as a class. Since it is rated PG, I will need your permission to let your child watch it. Please fill out this permission slip to allow your child to enjoy this movie with us.

End of Year Activities:

Fourth grade will be having “theme days” for the month of June. This will be various activities and events to make the end of the year memorable and exciting. More information to come. 

Focus Areas for the Week:

• Reading:  We will practice writing and recalling information from stories we are reading. You can never get enough practice with Reading Comprehension! We will also wrap up the book Blood on the River. 

• Math:  We will begin our unit on Geometry. 

•  Science:   We will continue our unit on Oceanography. 

I hope you have a great weekend and stay cool! It’s supposed to be pretty hot! Once again, I will be out on the baseball field enjoying the weather!
