The students have just finished their first week of 4th Grade!!!! We had a great start to our school year minus the extreme heat that we lacked for a portion of the summer. It sounds like the heat could be even worse next week. The students are welcome to bring water bottles to school to try and stay cool. We are scheduled to be in school full days next week but with the forecast the way it is there may be a chance of some early outs. Keep tuned for those. I will announce them on the blog and Twitter and the radio would also have them on.
Today in Reading we worked on the Fluency portion of our Cafe Menu. Fluency is a key building block to becoming a great reader. We talked about several different strategies readers use to help them to become fluent readers. We also started writing rough drafts for personal narratives. Most kids are writing about something they did with their families over the summer.
In Math we reviewed some geometry terms. I hate to say it but with the 4 day week and the 2 early outs the kids' first homework of the year will be due on Monday. It will be a simple Math worksheet over the geometry terms that we reviewed.
FFA students at the high school are once again selling Homecoming t-shirts. Order forms are coming home with kids today.
I hope everyone enjoyed their first week of school, kids and parents alike. I know I did! Have a great weekend!!!
