Our Raleigh fieldtrip was a success! A BIG thank you to our wonderful chaperones, and also to all of you for dropping your child off bright and early and for being there for pick-up! I really appreciate it. :-)
EOG Testing will be May 24 & 25. Please add the dates to your calendar and avoid scheduling appointments for your child on those days! :-)

This week in 4th grade:

EOG Review continues! We are reviewing all that we have covered in math and reading. It is a busy time of the year! We are trying to give the students exposure to as many EOG-like questions as possible. We have been practicing these types of questions all year, but we are practicing even more-so now! :) Please emphasize to your child how important it is for them to stay focused and try their hardest! Summer fever is beginning to set in!
Homework—
For homework this week, students have a math and reading packet. They are to do a few math problems each night (I told them how many) and they are to read one reading passage each night. They are no longer required to complete the activities with the passage, only the questions.
Reading— This week we are reviewing elements found in non-fictional texts: identifying main idea and details, summarizing, identifying text features, inferencing, and drawing conclusions. Writing— This week we are researching animals (of their choosing). We are creating a magazine on the animals. Each paragraph of our magazine is going to be written using the text structures we studied earlier in the year. Math— We are reviewing fractions this week in workshop and homeroom. TenMarks.com is a great resource for your child to be using at home!
