Hi Everyone!

It is amazing that is this our last week before the first quarter is complete. A few updates on the week.

Spalding practice improved dramatically over the week. I hope to continue to see that this week. We will have a spelling test this Friday.

In history, we have been learning the countries of Europe and your students will have a quiz on Thursday. Everyday they will be bringing in their maps and they should be reviewing the locations of each country every night. We expect to have 30 countries and bodies of water by Thursday. They will also have a mini-quiz on the middle ages and have some free response questions. 

In Literature, they will have their second and final assessment on Pollyanna. Make sure they are studying their vocabulary every night. I saw significant improvement last week. 

In math they are learning about division and longer multiplication problems. We'll wait to assess until after fall break. 

We are taking a grade wide reassessment of the science test today on Monday because of how overwhelmed the entire grade was with all of their assessments last week. That being said 4C did a very nice job with a B average throughout the class. I do not want your students to be too concerned. I will give them the higher of the two grades. 

If your child would like to retake their pictures we will have an available retake on Tuesday. Please make sure they bring their photos back with them.

At this time there should be no homework during Fall Break, and I do not expect that to change. 

I will post a link later in the week where you will be able to signup for a parent teacher conference after fall break between 19-21 of October. Parent teacher conferences are mandatory. 

I look forward to seeing all of you then.
