Dear Parents,
I hear the class is really enjoying reading the book, Wonder. It is a beautiful story of compassion for others, friendship, and showing kindness. It is a story we reference many times throughout the year. The students always seem to connect really well to the story of August Pullman. If you get a chance, I highly recommend you read it. They are in the process of making it into a movie and might make for a fun family night out. Denim Drive The students are eager to help others in need. Creative juices have generated flyers, skits, power points, posters, and many more advertisement opportunities. The collection begins October 2nd. Saddle Up and Read We will suspend our regular Reading Log for the next few weeks. We will be supporting the library incentive, Saddle Up and Read. Students received the form Friday. Each student is required to read level appropriate books from different genres. Parents are to initial the form when a book is completed. The form will be checked by me each Friday for progress. Multiplication Facts Facts 0-10 should be mastered. We will begin multiplication of 1 digit by 4 digit numbers next week. Please have your child practice nightly until instant recall is obtained. As I have said before in the past, the instant recall of these facts is a game changer in 4th grade math. It can make all the difference to build their confidence in math and strengthen their foundational math skills. Conferences Please be considerate of time at conferences. Mrs. Tjon will have a limited 20 mins with each family. If you have a 7:00am conference, Mrs. Tjon will meet you at the door by the office at 6:55am.
