Dear Parents/Guardians,

With the end of the year fast approaching, we also have some very fun field trips and the Intermediate School Field Day coming up. With the hope of keeping communication clear and calendars up to date, we have listed below the dates, times, prices (if necessary) and a small description of the events happening in 4th grade.

Lumberjack Show: We will be watching the legendary Scheer’s Lumberjack Show. It is always fun and entertaining. After the show, we will stop at Shue’s Pond for a picnic lunch. Your child is responsible for bring his/her own lunch OR you may request a sack lunch be made by the school.

School Forest: We will be planting trees and also going to the school forest where we will break out into a variety of mini-sessions learning about the forest. Johnson Timber will be generously donating a free lunch (hot dogs, chips, juice or water, veggies, and dessert) for all students and staff attending. What a treat?! This opportunity is put on by Johnson Timber, the WI DNR, Steigerwaldt Land Services and many other volunteers willing to give their time to educate our youth free of charge. We are very thankful for this experience!

Pioneer Village: We will be visiting the Barron County Historical Society’s Pioneer Village Museum. Your child is responsible for bringing their own lunch OR you may request a sack lunch from the school.
                           
Instead of asking you 3 separate times for money, we have decided to request/give an option that you send the total amount for your student all at once. We would like the money turned in to your student’s teacher on or before Friday, April 22nd. This will give us plenty of time to get the money to the right people and assure everything is taken care of on our end. If you have any questions/concerns please contact your child’s teacher. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We hope these field trips will provide fun and exciting learning experiences for all. 


Sincerely,
The 4th Grade Team

Week in Review

Hello! Wow! What a week it has been. We have learned a lot and also perfected a lot of our routines! The kiddos have done a great job! We have learned all kinds of letters in our phonics lessons including n, o and t! We have learned about reading to someone and reading to self for our Daily 5 and also have learned about our expectations for 1st grade writing and 1st grade pictures for Writer's Workshop. In math we have learned about 5 groups and how to make numbers greater than 5 by making a 5 group and some more ones! We have also read lots of books about the alphabet and are becoming rock stars with our letters! I am so proud! We are doing FABULOUS in first grade! BUT... there are a few minor things we need to work on... 1. bathroom--our behavior in the bathroom hasn't been the  greatest! We need to remember to use 1 pump of soap, 1 paper towel and that we go in, go to the bathroom and get out! 2. We also need to work on blurting out. We have RULE #2: Raise your h...

Sorry! :(

HELLO! I am so sorry that I have kind of forgotten about updating my blog because of Christmas Break and all of the snow days/cold days we have had! END OF 2ND QUARTER/1ST SEMESTER We are coming to the close of the 2nd Quarter which also marks the end of the 1st Semester of 4th grade. I cannot believe it at all!!! MATH We have started our new math unit. Unit #4 is going to be a combination of comparison word problems, algebra and a few other new ideas dealing with mathematics. It is still VERY IMPORTANT that your student be practicing their flash cards for both division and multiplication. I have to be honest when I say they will not do well in this unit if they do not know their facts. So keep up the good work with practicing!!! ENGLISH AND LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA) We have also started a new novel, Mouse and the Motorcycle. This new novel marks the beginning of our 3rd ELA Unit titled "Animals are Characters, Too!" We will be exploring animal characteristics, perso...

Reminders

REMINDERS Just a few reminders for next week! Monday, December 22 is our Christmas Party. You got a letter home that told who was on the list to bring in a treat for the party. We will be decorating cookies as well and you child knows what he or she is responsible for bringing in (either frosting or sprinkles). This was worked out with the peanut butter/jelly partners. The students are also welcome to wear pajamas, slippers, bring blankets and/or pillows. We will be watching the movie Frozen and making a fun Christmas tree ornament! Tuesday, December 23 is the last day before Christmas break and is also our Pioneer Day Celebration. Remember the students are invited to dress as a pioneer if they would like, but this is not required. They may also bring their lunch in the old-fashioned way if they would like, but once again, this is not required. We will be having 3-4 speakers coming in to talk about various pioneer like trades, doing fun pioneer crafts and playing some pioneer ga...
