Welcome Back!
I hope you all enjoyed your summer break! We are going to be doing some amazing things this school year! We are happy to announce that we will be working with a brand new hands-on Science program this year. There will be tons of hands-on experiments and group activities for the students to participate in. This program will be starting later on in the fall.
We have already begun our first Fiction unit in Reader's Workshop. The students have all chosen their own books on their appropriate reading level. We are beginning by reviewing a variety of strategies that the students learned in third grade. In Math we are well into our first unit and have been doing really well with our place value activities. We will be moving on to patterns, estimation and work with factors and multiples.
Keep an eye on your student's homework folder as well as periodic informational e-mails. I'm looking forward to a successful year!
