Where did January GO???

We have been so busy these last 4 weeks! We are really diving into some literacy skills that will, in the end, help us to increase our comprehension. We are learning about vocabulary and fluency strategies that will help us comprehend the stories we are reading.
We are also working on writing to a prompt. 4th graders will take the FCAT Writes February 28.

In Math we are really working on decimals. Remind your students to show you their place value charts.

At the beginning of March we will take a field trip to Marine Science! That is a great day of fun!!

Make sure your student is accessing Compass as much as they can from home. This is a great resource to assist in promotion.

Spelling Bee-

Congrats to Warren and Keyerra for participating in our school Spelling Bee today! Both did a great job, because we all know how nerve wracking it can be to stand in front of a large group and spell! Congratulations again.

Words like: twig, scoop, shamrock, sparkle, mixer, fashion, wallet, hula, mimic, broadcast and shuffle knocked a few out of the running.

We are practicing our writing daily now in hopes of helping our writing scores. Please ask your student what they have been writing about!

The cold weather is here- please make sure your student has a jacket and gloves!!!

Happy New Year!
