Week of 2/28/2022

 


Happy Monday Everyone,

     I would like to thank everyone that has registered their child for the Starfish Sprint and given donations to our school. All donations need to be made by the end of the week for your child to earn prizes. We will have our run on this Friday. PTO is asking for students to wear their class shirts for the run. 


PMA Testing
     We will begin PMA 3 Testing on this Wednesday. We will give this PMA under simulated FSA testing protocols. Students will take all of the tests in their homeroom class beginning first thing in the morning. Students will be asked to leave their backpacks and lunchboxes in the hall and only bring in their #2 pencils. 
      Please make sure your child gets a good nights sleep and eats a filling breakfast. Students will not be allowed to have snacks until testing concludes.
     This PMA will be longer than the first two tests we took this school year. For both reading and math the tests will include all of the fourth grade standards. 
     We have picture day this Wednesday. All students will be included in our class picture, but only the students that send in an order will take a spring picture. The order form was sent home last week. 

      On next Thursday we will be going to MOSH. Be on the lookout for the permission slip to come home. We are able to have unlimited chaperones so if you want to go just let me know. We will once again be using the digital payment platform that we used for our St. Augustine trip https://DCPS.schoolcashonline.com.
     Also coming home this week is a tentative lunch order for our field trip to the Jacksonville in April. We will be purchasing our lunches through the zoo and they would like to have a tentative count from us as soon as possible. This way they can get a jump on ordering the food. This is due to the difficulties with supply chains. The zoo field trip is on Friday April 22nd. If you think you might be able to join us please let us know what you would like for lunch too. Please do not send any money with the Zoo Lunch Form, this is just for us to get a count.

     We will take our third Math PMA on Friday March 4th and Monday March 7th. We will have covered the majority of our 4th grade math standards by the time we take our test. The only ones that we have left are 3 decimal standards and customary measurement. As a way to introduce these standards I am assigning optional work on Freckle for these standards. This will be a way to introduce these topics so that students will be somewhat aware of these types of questions when they see them on the PMA. These standards will be covered in class in plenty of time for the FSA in May.
       We have almost reached the end of our fractions unit. Our end of unit test will be on Tuesday March 8th. 

     This week in science we will cover natural resources. We will study renewable and nonrenewable resources. We will also study resources that can be found in Florida. This is the last portion of this unit. Our test on unit 4 will be on Wednesday March 9th.
