I hope this Sunday after Thanksgiving finds you well and that you enjoyed the holiday. We have a busy couple of weeks before Christmas. We are continuing with Unit 2 in Reading Street. Vocabulary, spelling, and the weekly test are back this week. We all enjoyed a well deserved break last week with some great activities. Fourth grade is starting Unit 4 in math. The first part of the unit is about decimals. It was great to see you all at conferences. I had two nights of great conversations with you. Enjoy your week!!!!

Week of November 8, 2010

Today ends the first quarter. It's hard to believe that we have one quarter under our belts. Report cards will go home on Friday. Students have been doing a GREAT job of getting their work done. Please continue to monitor this at home. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thursday is Veteran's Day. I hope everyone enjoys the day off and takes a minute to remember our past and present Armed Forces.

This week, we are studying geometry. We started today with line segments, lines, and rays. Tomorrow is computer lab day to work on FASTT Math. In Reading, the kids were very happy about only having five vocabulary words. I think our favorite was "dudes". :) We will be reading "Coyote School News" tomorrow and Wednesday.
