Valentine's


  • Make sure to look at our calendar on the link at the bottom. I just added lots of end of the year dates!
  • If you want your child practicing over our long weekend, I have added lots of important skills to work on from IXL. Some math and some language arts. They are on the February 8th post on our Lab Lessons blog.
  • Read to Succeed logs for free Six Flags tickets are due at the end of this month!


This year, as in year's past, we would like to include baby pictures of the graduating 4th graders in the SSC yearbook. While it is not required for each student to participate, it is a fun way to make the graduating class feel a little extra special.  Please find your favorite baby picture and use the following instructions to upload it for us to use in the yearbook...
Directions to upload
Go to www.hjeshare.com and use the school code 1234ssc .
When you upload, you will have to fill in 3 boxes: 
Grade of Student
Student Shown in Picture - your child's name as you want it displayed
Description - please type "4th grade baby picture" AND your name & email address. This is helpful to to us if we find that the resolution is low or have a problem.
The deadline to upload your child's baby picture is Friday, February 19. 

Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-Our read aloud is right now is The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson. If you have never read it, give it a try! Your child can show you where the text is online and I know he/she would love talking about it with you. During CAFE time we have been working on inferring the meaning of words that we don't know. Our new CAFE goal is inferring character traits.  Writing-Hoover does an Arbor Day essay contest for 4th graders every year at this time. We have been working on an essay for the contest about why trees are important. We need to turn them in Friday, but they are in our Google Classroom if you would like to read over it with your child and give them some tips. 6. Math-We had our end of the unit test on fractions, (have your child log into Pearson to show you how he/she did) and have been working on addition and subtraction with bigger and bigger numbers! Next week we get back into multiplication and division working with strategies for bigger numbers and then we will dive into decimals! Content-We are studying the Human Body and all of its systems. We started the respiratory system today.
