November 18th Updates

Reminders – No school November 22nd through 26th.  There is an early dismissal on November 21st. 

No spelling list for this week due to it being a 3 day week.  We will continue our spelling lists right after the Thanksgiving break.

Just a reminder, Mr. Thompson and I switch for Science and Social Studies this report period.  He is teaching Science to my class right now and then after December 7th I’ll be teaching Social Studies to our class.  You will only see Science grades in Sapphire right now and then after December 7th you’ll begin to see Social Studies grades.  

We are also switching for literature groups for the next two months,  to further build our 4th grade friends strength in reading and comprehension. This begins tomorrow. 

Help Needed – Thank you!

  1. Practicing math facts so your child can test out of all of them.  A few minutes at night does make a difference.
  2. We are beginning to learn how to complete long division.  Practicing the steps of it at home is important and will give them a boost.
