Classroom Donations :)

I have had a few of you ask if there is anything we need for the classroom to start off the school year. :) 

I have included a list of a few items we would greatly appreciate and benefit from having here.
-Electric Pencil Sharpener ******
-Amazon gift cards (There are a few novels I would like to add to our library and computer ink for my classroom printer so students can publish their work in a fun, colorful, and creative way.)
-Colored Cardstock


Thank you so much for everything you do at home!!!

This week...

Reading- Fourth graders will get a broad look of what we will cover this year in reading. We will think about why we read, the variety of texts that we read, our inner conversation, and vocabulary development.

Writing: Students will generate ideas and plans for writing. We will talk a lot about recording our thinking and having a safe place to express ourselves. The students will learn how everyday experiences can be fun and exciting if we write in an animated way.  

Math – We will introduce our Math Journals and Menus. Students will use place value to read, write, compare and order whole numbers. Students will also begin the year’s Every Day Counts program.

Science – Students will describe how to demonstrate safety during investigations, discovering new information using the scientific process, as well as identify and explain how to use scientific tools.

Social Studies – Students will learn about the regions and landscape of Texas. They will begin to work on their own map of Texas for their first social studies grade!

WELCOME!

Welcome to Fourth Grade! I am looking forward to a GREAT school year! I know we will have a blast, and it will be a year to remember!

See you Monday morning.  :) Doors open at 7:30am.  Don't forget your supplies, a snack, and a lunch or lunch money!
