News From Room 207

Week of 9/4/12
Welcome Fabulous Fourth Grade Families,

Thank you for your generous donations of classroom supplies.

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. We had a wonderful first week getting to know each other and our classroom. Over the next several weeks, we will continue establishing a safe, challenging learning environment as we build our classroom community and daily routines. We will begin projects using our summer reading books this week. If your child has not turned in their completed summer reading forms, they should do so on Tuesday morning. If you have the book at home, please send it in. There is no need to purchase the book though if you currently do not have it at home. We have several extra copies of each book at school. Additionally, please be sure to send in a healthy snack daily. All snacks must be peanut-free. We will have a morning snack and recess daily from 10:45-11:00am. I send home a weekly newsletter telling you about our week and upcoming events. Our newsletter will typically be emailed home by Monday mornings. If you would prefer a hard copy, please let me know and I am happy to send one home in your childs Monday folder. I enjoyed meeting many of you at Dean Park and I am looking forward to seeing you at Curriculum Night when I will go into further detail about our fourth grade year. We will begin in our classroom on September 20, 2012, room 207 at 6:30pm. At 7:15pm, you will be invited to join Mr. Mabie in the cafeteria for additional information. The evening will be finished by 7:30pm. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. The best way to contact me is by using my school e-mail address at [email protected]. You should also feel free to send in a note to school. I am looking forward to a wonderful year! Warmly, Sandra Travers

English Language Arts We will complete Directed Reading Assessments this week on all students and then begin working on a persuasive writing piece based on our Summer Reading books. It is very helpful if your child has their summer reading book at school each day. R ead Aloud One day at the library, a book falls off the self and hits Milo in the head. Its called Be A Perfect Person in 3 D ays. In the book, Dr. Pinkerton Silverfish doesnt look so perfect but Milo decides to give it a try. Perfect is obviously the perfect way to be or is it?

Unit 1 focuses on Geometry. Be sure to have your child explore the http://sqworl.com/zdkaol website as time allows. Students need to practice math facts nightly. We will be completing weekly mad minutes to check our progress. Social Studies This year in Social Studies we will be visiting the four major regions of the United States (East, South, Midwest, West) as well as taking trips to Canada and Mexico. We will begin our journey by learning and revisiting mapping skills such as the compass rose, latitude/longitude, map scales, and legends. Come along for a great time! Science We will begin this week, combining the study of engineering, technology and language arts with the story Yi Mins Great Wall. Your
children will begin to build their own walls with a mortar mixture. The walls will have to survive a softball roll! This content-connected project will provide the class with cooperative learning time.
