Week of February 6th UPDATE

1.  TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7th is a 1/2 day.  Dismissal is at 12:15.

2.  CANNED / BOXED FOOD DRIVE UPDATE - Thanks to all those families that have generously donated to our canned food drive.  This far, our classroom is in the lead surpassing our goal of 100 cans!  As of today, our classroom has brought in  137 canned / boxed food items for the Worcester County Food Bank! WOW!  We will be setting a new goal tomorrow and see if we can reach that!  Thank your for your generous support in this school endeavor.

3.  SOCIAL STUDIES TEST - Last week the student brought home a study guide / notes and their social studies text book.  We are having a text on the SOUTH (climate / physical features / natural resources and economy) on Wednesday, February 15th.  I have encouraged the students to review for 10 minutes each day!  This should help prevent "Cramming" at the last minute.  We will also be reviewing in class, yet they will NOT need their materials.  Keep the book at home until he day of the test!  Thank for you your support in reminding your child to study / review every night.

4. VALENTINES - In the blue communication folder, a class list was sent home.  We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Tuesday February 14th.  If your child chooses to hand out Valentines, they must have a Valentine for every student in the class.  Please do not purchase / send in any Valentines that include food / candy!  Your child may bring in an extra snack this day to enjoy while we are opening our Valentines.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions / concerns.

MATH NIGHT - Thursday, January 26th

This coming Thursday, January 26 at 7–8:15pm, school will be open late! All are welcome at Coolidge Math Night, a family-friendly event designed to help your child show off and practice Math skills.

In fourth grade, students will have the opportunity to visit four math stations.  Two stations are based on our fraction unit, one is a problem solving station, and  the fourth is an iPad station.   Students will be demonstrating their bar modeling skill, playing games and exploring the use of technology while highlighting our fourth grade curriculum.

This is a lighthearted, informal event—an opportunity to get familiar with the Math In Focus program, to try some student tools and and to see your child in action!

Hope to see many familiar faces!

MATH HOMEWORK UPDATE/ MAP TEST / MATH NIGHT

Families of room 31 -

OOPS... the class left today and we forgot to write in the planner that the math homework is ONLY questions 1 - 14.  They are NOT to complete 15 - 27 tonight!  Please remind your child if you see this BEFORE they start their homework.  I have also emailed this information to families. 

 
MATH NIGHT - I hope to see many of our students for Math Night on January 26th. Children and their caregivers are encouraged to come play math games / share in our math learning.  It will run from 7:00 - 8:15. Hope to see many familiar faces!

SOUTH STATE MAP TEST - The students have their SOUTH MAP test this THURSDAY, January 19th. They need to be able to label all the physical features (mountains, rivers, oceans, peninsula, delta) in the correct spot on a map.  They will also need to know the names of each of the states.   Learning the capitals are a bonus!   The study guide and practice blank maps went home last Monday which gave the students 10 nights to practice! Please make sure your child is studying for this test!
