This month we will, as usual, be very busy! We are looking forward to lots of holiday learning and fun!
You're Invited!
Our class will be
memorizing and performing holiday poetry for you on Tuesday, December the 15th from 11:10 to about 11:45. This will be a
very informal time just to be together and celebrate the season! If you cannot
attend please make sure someone comes to watch your child. It can be a
grandparent, aunt, uncle, or a neighbor. Let me know if you cannot find anyone
to attend and I should be able to help. The children will be acting out winter
poetry and will need to dress up/bring props to “show” their poem. Again, very informal! Poems need
to be memorized by December 11th.
Our holiday party will be December the 17th at 10:30. Mrs. Ballintine will be getting in touch to let you know how you can help!
Book Swap: We will be having a book swap in our class, please be looking for a new or gently used 4th grade book to send in wrapped, with your child, on or before December 17th. No name on it please.

Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-We are learning about different styles of poetry. Writing-We will also be trying our hand at writing different styles of poetry. Math-We have started fractions! I will be sending a parent letter home with more information. There are a couple of videos below to explain how we have started off our study. Decimals will be coming up soon!
Math homework this week is our regular computation practice and then some strategy practice. This link has the sheets I sent home with the kids, and on the sheet is a link to a video demo of every strategy they should know in case you would like to see them. They also know how to get to these videos in case they need a refresher or it's a new strategy. :)
Content-We are learning all about electricity! Here are some pictures of our first investigation, lighting a bulb. Ask your child about it, they had a great time!! *Check our calendar for other important dates.
