Parents and students:
**Please remember our classroom is nut free. No snacks containing nuts may be brought for morning snack break. I am looking forward to an amazing school year with all of you! Please don't hesitate to contact me if any questions or concerns arise. Please read through the 4th Grade Packet that was given out on Move-In Sunday for quick references on many topics. Thank you for all of your generous gifts from the Apples for Teachers! Our class received all of the items I wished for, and I am so thankful and overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you so much! We will put them all to great use this year. |

The students have the map for Social Studies ch. 3 on the continents and ocean. They have both a finished copy and a blank copy. In two weeks when we complete chapter 3, they will be tested on both the chapter and the map. They will have a blank copy of the map on the test, and they will need to label the continents and oceans on the test.
The next Reading Log will be due on Friday, November 15. It must have 15 entries at that time. All spaces must have a parent signature or initials. Reading Logs with fewer than 15 entries will have points deducted from the score. Students must read at least 10 minutes per entry.
The students will be tested weekly on writing, typically on Fridays. We go over paragraph editing every day in class. Fridays they will be tested on the skills learned throughout that week (such as end marks, capitals, underlining, quotes, etc...). They will also be tested on writing a short paragraph on an assigned topic using those same skills.
