Reminders...again!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you know, school is quickly coming to an end, and the 4th grade is as busy as ever!  We wanted to share a few more details about our upcoming events.  All of these upcoming events include a lot of time outdoors, so please be vigilant of the weather and prepare accordingly with sunscreen, jackets, sunglasses, hats, etc.  Please contact your child’s teacher with any questions.
   

FRIDAY, MAY 20 - FIELD DAY

Come watch the kids compete!  Students may want to bring a water bottle.

Wednesday, May 25 - Lumberjack Show

Send a cold lunch with your child if you aren’t planning to order a school lunch.  Students will not need any money.

Friday, May 27 -Barron County Historical Museum

***Students should wear their field day t-shirts**

The buses are scheduled to depart HIS for the museum promptly at 8:30, so please take extra care to ensure your child is here on time as the bus will not wait for anyone.

Electronics will not be permitted at all on this day. Please do not send them to school.  

Students should either bring a lunch from home or order one from the school by Thursday, May 19!  

The museum has a gift shop and a “saloon” where children can purchase things like sarsaparilla, candy, and gifts.  Kids can also CHOOSE to make a jump rope and keep it for $1.  You DO NOT need to send money with your child, but if you want to ana are able to do so, we are asking that children do not bring more than $10 with them.  Each student will be responsible for their own money.

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!

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!

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.

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...
