I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Just think this weekend will be a 3-day weekend since we are off on Monday for Labor Day!!
Our rug came in last week!!! Thanks to your generosity, my Donor's Choose project was fully funded. I asked for a new classroom rug and it was delivered last week.The students are loving having enough room to sit. Thank you so much!!
We have several things happening this week. We will have our first early dismissal day on Wednesday. Students will be released at 1:30. Please make sure your child knows how they are going home. Thursday night we will have Open House beginning at 6:00. This is a parents only event. You will go to the cafeteria first. After Ms. Mattingly's presentation you will come to Ms. Billiard's room for our presentation. We hope that you will be able to attend.
Please write your child's name on their lunch box. All of 4th grade goes to recess at then to lunch at about the same time and many of the students have similar looking lunch boxes. We have had several times where students have picked up the wrong lunch box.
There was lots of confusion about some of websites last week. One of the emails that I sent last week included the directions for how to register for Brain Pop and how to get to the online resources for our science book. These are two different websites. You can not get to the science book through Brain Pop. To get to the science book, your child must log in to the Blended Learning website. You can reach Blended Learning by going through the Students tab on the DCPS website. If your child was a DCPS student last year they should be familiar with Blended Learning. This is how they accessed i-Ready and Achieve 3,000 last year.
This week for technology students need to make sure that they have registered for Brain Pop and Prodigy. Students need to also go on to Ed Your Friend in Learning and complete the Digital Lesson for lesson 1 What do Scientist Do.
This week in math we will continue working in Module 1 Place Value. This week students will take their first math quiz. The quiz will cover place value concepts that we have worked on so far: comparing and ordering numbers, number relationships (10 times greater), showing numbers in different forms, and rounding.
This week in science we will cover lessons 2 and 3. Lesson 2 discusses the skills that scientist use in their work. Things like observing, making inferences, communicating their results, making comparisons to the work of other scientists and collecting and displaying data. Students will take their first quiz on Thursday. The quiz will cover lessons 1, 2, and 3. Students are allowed to use their books and journals for all quizzes, so it is important that students always bring needed supplies to class.
This week in social studies we will continue to learn general information about Florida. We ran out of time on last Friday so we will spend time discussing both lesson 1 and lesson 2. Lesson 1 is a general getting to know Florida reading. It talk the geography of our state. Lesson 2 talks about Florida's land and water. Students will take quizzes for both lesson 1 and lesson 2. Students should comprehend the material well enough that they can discuss the material with the class. This week for homework students also need to complete the vocabulary for lessons 1 and 2. If your child is not able to copy down the words on the board in the classroom, they can find the words on the S.S. Vocab tab of this page. This week's words are the first six on the list under chapter 1.
Have a GREAT week,
Ms. J
