Things to remember for this week:

    There will be 2 math quizzes this week.  To prepare, study subtracting fractions with uncommon denominators with borrowing, simplifying and reducing fractions, and finding the range, mode, mean, and median of a set of numbers on a bar graph.  

     There will be a language quiz over finding the subject, verb, predicate nominatives, predicate adjective, and direct objects.  They will also need to know if the verb is action, being, or linking.  

    The field Trip to Fat Eddies and the playground for a scavenger hunt will be on Thursday.  We will leave school at 10:30 and return to the school by 2:00.  They can pack a lunch or bring money for Fat Eddies. 

    Our Easter party will be Friday after lunch.  You may send treats if you would like! 

The last day for the food drive is Wednesday.  Some suggested items are canned goods, boxed goods such as mac-n-cheese, peanut butter...

Spring break is April 1-10.

 The History Quiz for Thursday is rescheduled for Friday and is over all of Chapter 14.

 HOMEWORK ADJUSTMENT and FIELD TRIP INFO

I put the wrong lesson number for the Language assignment for tonight.  I told the kids today in study hall that they could do L. 125, but if they had completed 127 instead, that would be fine. Both sections are good practice! 

On Thursday the 30th, we will take a trip to Fat Eddie's for lunch and a nature scavenger hunt at the playground.  They will need money for their lunch, a jacket, and play shoes.  We never know what the weather will be like; it could be cool and muddy or warm and sunny. 

Permission slips will go home tomorrow.

Please also remember that each evening they should be spending 15 minutes on IXL.  I am so excited at how much they are progressing!  I hope you have logged on and checked out their scores.  

Thanks,

Mrs. Trescott

I will post regular homework on a daily basis this week. However, please continue 15 minutes of IXL Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, and as usual, spelling words are Monday night's assignment, 2x each. 

We will be on Spelling list 23 this week. 

Tuesday is pie day, and Mr. Bice has agreed to let anyone who brings in $3.14 to throw a pie at him! That will be a fun time for sure! 

Have a great weekend! 

Here are a few pictures from a fun activity we did today!  They made constellations with marshmallows and toothpicks!  Tomorrow's quiz on 9.1-9.5 will be open book, but I do not think they will need it! They know their stuff!  Great job 4th graders!  

Don't forget to sign the IXL papers. :)  

 

 March 6-10 

Just a reminder, we always have at least a 10 minute study hall each day to begin homework. Some of the class does not always use this time wisely;  you may want to remind your child to please always work in class and that we do not have toys in school.  :) Thank you!

        IXL Information

Today I sent home a report showing your child's performance levels in Math on IXL.  Please take a look at it, sign it, and send it back tomorrow.   

A quick explanation of how to understand this data is that 400 represents 4th grade level.  So, 410 would mean that your child is at a 4th grade level in the first month;  420 would mean 4th grade level in the second month and so on.  There are several concepts for which you will see a numeric score. 

Next to the recommended skill on the sheet they brought home is a 3 digit number/letter set that I had the class highlight/circle.  Beginning tomorrow, Thursday March 2, they are assigned 15 minutes of IXL time at home working on these highlighted skills every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening.  

The boys and girls have become very good at using IXL and should be able to do their 15 minutes completely independently.  Their log in information should be stapled into their take-home folders.  I will be watching their progress each day to be sure they are getting their 15 minutes in.  

IXL is a great tool to show us exactly what the students' individual needs are. It really helps me to make my direct instruction more effective.  

Feel free to call or text me at 304-445-5744 with any questions.  

Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to your children!  You are all raising terrific kids who I am honored to teach!
