Thank you parents for making our Fun Run a success! The kids had a great time and earned more than $117 per lap as a class for our school. That's AMAZING! This past week they earned some extra recess, PJ Day, a trip to the park, and a Breakout Box challenge we will do next week!  They deserve it. Thank you for supporting our school.

PROGRESS REPORTS on 10/22


Image result for grades

Your child's Progress Report will be available starting Tuesday, 10/22 on Illuminate. No Progress Reports will be sent home on paper. You will also have access to my online grade book to see grades your child received on each assignment. You will 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 4 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. 

MAP Scores Coming Home Today

Your child is bringing home their Fall MAP scores today.   The "Family Report" I am sending home in your child's "Take Home" folder will give you a snapshot of their scores from Fall 2018 through this Fall. The report lets you know: 

  1. Achievement = how well your child has learned skills in a subject compared to similar students nationwide.
  2. Growth = your child's personal progress over the year.

For more information you can also go to this link: MAP Parent Tool Kit  

Book Orders due TONIGHT!!!

Please order online using our special code by Oct. 18th.    
You can also log in to the Scholastic Website to order from any of the catalogs--different grade levels, specific authors, topics, or themes.  Have fun browsing!!

Website



The district updated their website this week.  It looks great, and has a lot of great resources, but my class website is no longer linked to my page.   OH NOOO!!!!!
Students in my class have all "bookmarked" my site on their Chromebooks for easy access to what they need in class.  You might want to do the same.   The link to my website is also always available on this BLOG [in the list of info. on the right].  
Hope this helps!!
