Hello,

 

Here are our fourth grade classroom updates for next week: 

• Monday's Virtual Day: Today, students brought home a clear sleeve of work in their take home folders with the assignments for Monday. I included a checklist with directions for students, and have attached it to this email as well for your reference. Students know that in order to get marked as "present" at school on Monday, they must return with their work completed when we arrive back at school. We went through each assignment together today to help students feel as prepared as possible. If any questions arise, please feel free to reach out! I will be available throughout Monday to help answer questions if necessary.
• Parent/Teacher Conferences: Parent/Teacher conferences are next week on Thursday and Friday. Students have been preparing this week to lead these conferences. I look forward to meeting with you all.
• Chapel Offering: For the month of January, our school chapel offerings are supporting Family Sharing. In addition to the offering money collected each Wednesday, we are also looking for a few key items to support Family Sharing this season. They are looking for canned chicken, canned pineapple, canned peaches, oatmeal variety packs, and granola bar packs. Donations will be collected here in the classroom throughout January.
• Map Testing: Map testing will continue next week with our math test. Due to the virtual day on Monday, we are planning to take our test on Wednesday.

  • For Tuesday:  The Second Commandment and Explanation- “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.”
  • For Thursday:  Romans 10:17-  “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
• Spelling: Due to the virtual day Monday, and no school Friday, I am not planning on testing spelling next week. We will review our past patterns when we return together.
