I am looking for parent helpers for our math class. It is Mon-Fri from 11:05-11:45am. Please let me know if you are able to assist. Also, feel free to ask any questions about the chapters we are on or any upcoming tests. The progress report grades close on Wednesday, 10/5. All missing, absent, or late work should be turned in by then. Since the trimester is half over, the students should have about half of their AR points (5 points minimum).

ENGLISH: Parents please revise or proofread your child’s essay on “Summer”
SPELLING: WS p3 (you do not need to do the “apple” activity)

SPELLING: WS p6 complete the bottom assignment as well (grouping long vowel/short vowel words). Parents, this Friday’s spelling test will be their five core words found on their unit preview sheet(flex file). They will be given a story and will write in the missing words. They are also responsible for learning the skill of short/long vowel sounds. They will be given a list of words and will need to sort them into the two groups.
I’d like to send home a class contact list using your email address. This is a convenient way to keep you informed about field trips, parties, and our bake sale. This is for our fourth grade class only. If you do NOT want your information on this sheet, please let me know. Thank you and have a great evening.

MATH: P461 Practice 1-1 #1-13 and Practice 1-2 #1-12 (extra practice as needed). Parents…the purpose of the extra practice assignments are to help your child with a particular concept. They may complete the entire page, but I explained to them that they should focus on what they are having difficulty with. If your child does not practice any of the concepts, they are telling you that they are ready for a 100% on their math test.

SPELLING: Parents, for each spelling unit, the kids will complete 4 activities in their spelling notebooks. The activities are “Stretch It”, “Sort It”, “Add It”, and “Fix It”. I have done each of these with the children together as an example for unit #1. Feel free to look over your child’s spelling notebook to check their work. At the end of the unit, I will collect the notebooks for an assignment grade.
READING: Test for “Two Tickets to Freedom” (anthology series) is scheduled for Tuesday, 9/13.
TECHNOLOGY: This year, fourth grade will be doing a lot of online projects as well as a keyboarding program. If you could please have your child bring in a pair of ear buds or small headphones, that would be appreciated. Only your child will use the earphones and it will be kept in their supply boxes for when they need it. A letter will be going home with more information.
Thank you parents! It’s been a great start to the new year and I hope your children are having as much fun as I am.
