Halloween

Wednesday - 10/31 - Halloween; No Blood, Gore or Weapons. Masks are ok for the PARADE ONLY (if not bloody/gore-ish).

Our [School Wide ] Parade will be at 12:45pm. Our classroom party will start after the parade.

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you parents for making our Fun Run a success! The kids had a great time and earned more than $46 per lap as a class for our school. That's AMAZING! It also earned them some extra recess on Monday. They deserved it. Thank you for supporting our school.

Solano County Library

Below are some programs that are sponsored by the public library:

Read to a Dog

Children can practice their reading skills with friendly, specially trained and certified dogs. This program happens several times a week at the Fairfield Cordelia Library: Mondays 3:00 – 4:00; Tuesdays 3:00 – 4:00; Thursdays 2:00 – 3:00; and some Saturdays at noon. The monthly schedule can be found at http://solanolibrary.evanced.info/signup/Calendar 

This program is especially valuable for reluctant or struggling readers. The dogs make the experience fun. They are patient and don’t criticize, allowing the students to relax. Paws for Reading cites a UC Davis Study: “UC Davis researchers studied the reading abilities of children who read to dogs and the findings were astounding. ‘After reading to a dog once a week for ten weeks, standardized tests showed reading fluency increased on average thirty percent. Below grade readers improved a startling forty-six percent.’" Learn more: http://www.pawsforhealing.org/pawsreading.htm

Free Online Tutoring

Free chat tutoring for grades K-12, college intro and adult learners. Every day, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. in English and Spanish. http://solanolibrary.com/

FUN RUN for Room 504

Kids are loving the Fun Run activities and prizes at school. Activities take place at lunch and prizes for amount of pledges collected are delivered at the end of the day. Many of our kids have already made their videos which are super cute.
 [I made my own one here...HA]. There is a school wide challenge to get every kid in each class to make a video, so let's try to get them all done by Monday. The kids have set our Pledge-O-Meter awards and are hoping to earn a Movie Day if we get $80 pledged per lap. As of this minute we are at $9/lap. 
THANK YOU!!!

No Blood, Gore, Weapons, or masks.

Whooo's Reading

We are trying out a new Reading Program called Whooo's Reading. It is FREE and it is similar to AR. Kids can log on at home or school and take quizzes and write reviews for our class. At this point it is a "May Do" as the kids explore it. In a few weeks a weekly quiz may become a "Must Do" for a grade to demonstrate reading comprehension.

Book Reports

Book Reports are due next Friday!!!  Your child should have already started their project.  Students should be doing these projects on their own!!!  I know how tempting it is to want to take over, but please don’t.  It should look like 4^th grade work.   
NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!!!

Every Kid in a Park!!

Calling all 4th graders!!!!

Fourth graders and their families get free admission to National Parks and historical sites by printing out a pass--click on the link below:

How cool is that!!???

MAP Scores Coming Home Today

Your child is bringing home their Fall MAP scores today. It will give you a snapshot of their scores from Spring 2017 through this Fall. If you have questions there will be a 
MAP Information night on Wednesday, October 17th from 6:00-7:30 PM.
Go to: MAP Parent Tool Kit   for more information.

Movie Night = FUN!!

Progress Report Portal opens Today

Your child's Progress Report will be available starting today on Illuminate. No Progress Reports will be sent home on paper. Our District is going paperless. You will also have access to my online grade book to see grades your child received on each assignment. You will also be able to see missing assignments and/or work that needed more attention.   The grade book has closed for this period so there are no more retakes. You can go to Google Classroom to view comments I made on your student's work. 
Your child has 6 weeks to improve before Report Cards.  Please be supportive and remember this is 4th grade Boot Camp. They are getting it, but some of their early marks may reflect them reaching up to the rigor level we expect at 4th. 

You've got GREAT kids and I LOVE teaching them.
