As you may know we are having our BoosterThon Fundraising event this week. Our team name is Johnson Jaguar Jedi!! So far the students have received enough pledges to put our class at $20+ per lap!!! The run is this Thursday at 10. Parents are invited to cheer us on at the side playground. Students are bringing home their fun run shirts today. Please have your child try on their shirt. If it does not fit please send it back to school tomorrow and I will change it out for a better size. Students should wear their shirts to school on Thursday. Students may want to wear a long sleeve shirt under their fun run shirt to stay warm. The low on Thursday morning is projected to be 46 the high will only be 61 so it will still be very cold at 10 AM.
On Friday afternoon, we will celebrate Valentine's Day. I am asking that each child bring in one card for each of their classmates.
We are also in need
of parents to volunteer to drop of treats (cookies or cupcakes) and drinks
(mini bottles of water or juice boxes) for us to enjoy while we read our cards.
We will enjoy our
cards and treats on Friday afternoon at 2:00. If you are interested in bringing
in treats or drinks please let me know no later than Thursday 2/11.
As part of our Florida History studies we will be traveling to St. Augustine for our next field trip. The field trip will be on Tuesday March 15th. During the trip we will take a guided trolley tour of the historical parts of the city and a visit to the fort. The cost for students is $12. The cost for parents is $27. Due to visitor restrictions at the fort each of the fourth grade classes are only allowed 2 chaperones. If you would like to be a chaperone please send me a note or email. I will put all of the names in a hat and pick two to be our chaperones. If you can't go on this trip we still have a trip planned to MOSH in the spring. If you are interested please send me your name no later than Tuesday February 16th.
This week in math we will begin our study of decimals. Decimals are just like fractions they represent a part of whole. We will study decimals through the hundredths place. Students will learn how to read and write decimals. Students are being asked to express decimals in the following way: 5.67 would be read as five and sixty-seven hundredths. Students will also learn how to compare and order decimals, and how to find equivalent decimals and fractions.
This week in science students will continue to learn about the characteristics of animals and plants. Students are working on growing bean plants with their table groups and we are growing radish seeds without soil.
Have a Great Week and enjoy the Long Weekend!!!
