Salem Trip

A big thank you to all of the parents who helped our field trip run smoothly despite a few unexpected hiccups along the way!  Here are some photos of our trip taken by students.  I hope everyone learned a little something new.

Testing

We hope to wrap up English state testing this week.  District EasyCBM testing will take place next week. In one class period students will be taking the required progress monitoring test to check students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary.  I will also be meeting with individuals to listen to their reading fluency in a one minute read.  The district testing is much shorter and since it takes place three times per year, students are quite accustomed to the procedures.  After that, Mme Jana will do state and district math testing.

New Unit: Healthy Bodies

We will begin our Healthy Human Body unit after Memorial Day.  Students will be learning about major systems in the human body and how we keep our body healthy. (The reproductive system will not be covered in this unit.) I’ve arranged for a few health professionals to visit in the coming weeks.  They will share about their training, jobs and about how they help keep people healthy. 

VERY quick survey

We’d like to know how many parents read our blog. If you didn’t already respond to the survey, please click on this if you are a 4th grade parent & tell us that you are reading the news.
